The Treaty of Versailles, signed on June 28, 1919, marks the
end of World War I. The Treaty, among several financial clauses and military
restrictions, created a number of territorial changes on the map of Europe.
Austria-Hungary was split into many parts and certain new countries were born:
Austria, Hungary, Bosnia, Slovena and Croatia. Part of Bulgaria gave birth to a
new state, Macedonia. The state of Czechoslovakia was now recognized, as well
as Serbia and Montenegro united under one country, Yugoslavia. Russia lost
control over a part of its territory by the Baltic Sea and so Estonia, Finland,
Latvia and Lithuania were created.
