  • Germany must return Alsace-Lorraine to France; this had been taken by Germany in 1871
  • Germany must pay Reparations to France to cover the cost of rebuilding the parts of France that had been destroyed during the war (750,000 houses and 23,000 factories)
  • France should be allowed to take possession of the Rhineland (the area near the River Rhine); this was to stop Germany attacking France in the future.
