Germany was forced to pay an indemnity to the Allies (mostly France) to offset the costs of the war, this resulted in the German government going bankrupt. In addition Germany was forbidden from having military forces. Also regions of Germany such as the Ruhr valley were occupied by French troops.
It forced Germany to pay certain dividends for 'starting the war', made Germany accept blame for the start of WWI, and limited the size of their army, navy, and air arm.
