Mention any two ways in which the Treaty of Versailles affected the German Military Force.

(1) The German army was reduced to a maximum of 100,000 men, conscription was abolished and the General Staff dissolved. (2) Germany was forbidden to keep submarines, military aircraft or tanks, her navy was cut to six battleships, and the Rhineland was demilitarised.

Specific figures earn the marks here — 100,000 men and six battleships are worth memorising, because a vague answer such as "the army was reduced" is worth half a mark at best. Add the consequence if you have room: these terms humiliated Germany and left her defenceless, and the resentment they created was a direct cause of the rise of Hitler and the Second World War. The Treaty was signed on 28 June 1919.
