Alsace-Lorraine, which had been stripped from France by Germany in 1870, was returned. France took the industrial resources of the Saarland for 15 years. France would be able to make use of territory which had been taken from Germany. France became one of the beneficiaries of massive German reparation payments. Demilitarization of the Rhineland (a region of Germany next to its border with France) meant that France had the advantage if it was attacking Germany or if Germany attempted to attack France. France's safety was assured by the terms of the treaty as Germany would be militarily weak.

What factor allowed France to join in the scramble for colonies in the New World?
Perhaps the most important factor that allowed France to join the 'scramble' of New World colonization in the Age of Discovery was the 1598 Edict of Nantes. Establishing a real if also shaky peace after years of war in France between Catholics and Protestants, the Edict was followed by the establishment of a variety of French colonies in the Americas -- and daring explorations of as yet uncolonized portions of the New World.
