Though nearly thirty nations participated, the representatives of Great Britain, France, the United States, and Italy became known as the “Big Four.” The “Big Four” would dominate the proceedings that led to the formulation of the Treaty of Versailles. http://goo.gl/xHdZb -

The Versailles Treaty
[The Versailles Treaty](http:// goo.gl/9v8P3), signed on June 28, 1919, was the peace settlement between Germany and the Allied Powers that officially ended World War I. However, the conditions in the treaty were so punishing upon Germany that many believe the Versailles Treaty laid the groundwork for the eventual rise of Nazis in Germany and the eruption of World War II. -
Treaty Of Versailles Details
The most controversial aspects of the Versailles Treaty were that Germany was to take full responsibility for the damage caused during World War I (known as the "war guilt" clause, Article 231), the major land concessions forced upon Germany (including the loss of all her colonies), the limitation of the German army to 100,000 men, and the extremely large sum in reparations Germany was to pay to the Allied Powers.

Treaty of Saint Germain of 1919
The Treaty of Saint Germain was concluded between Austria and the Allies (Russia, Britain, the US, France, and Italy being the main ones) of World War I. The treaty granted Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, and Yugoslavia autonomy, and gave huge chunks of land to Italy and Romania. Thus, the treaty dissolved the Austro-Hungarian monarchy.

Austria was forbidden to team up with Germany again, both politically or economically.
Austria's army was limited to 30,000 troops.
Austria's navy was disbanded and split among the Allies, which only made sense because Austria lost her coast.

Treaty of Trianon
The Treaty of Trianon ensured that the new Hungary would have a minimal growth in her economic clout. This was, in fact, a deliberate policy. All the treaties signed by the defeated nations had at their core a desire to ensure that none of the Central Powers could ever become a threat to European peace again. Ironically, the unemployment that impacted Hungary in the interwar years was a primary reason for her association with Nazi Germany.

Bulgaria was stripped up western Macedonia which was given to Serbia/Yugoslavia, Thrace was assigned to Greece, and Dobruja to Rumania. As in the other Central Power states, the Treaty was unpopular. The territorial changes were not as severe as with the other members of the Central Powers. Still the Treaty was resented. The Bulgarian army was also limited.
