when did the allies and germany sign something equivalent to a peace treaty?
28 june 1919
in june 1919, the allies declared that war would resume if the german government did not sign the treaty they had agreed to among themselves. the government headed by philipp scheidemann was unable to agree on a common position, and scheidemann himself resigned rather than agree to sign the treaty. gustav bauer, the head of the new government, sent a telegram stating his intention to sign the treaty if certain articles were withdrawn, including articles 227, 230 and 231. in response, the allies issued an ultimatum stating that germany would have to accept the treaty or face an invasion of allied forces across the rhine within on 23 june, bauer capitulated and sent a second telegram with a confirmation that a german delegation would arrive shortly to sign the treaty. on 28 june 1919, the fifth anniversary of the assassination of archduke franz ferdinand (the immediate impetus for the war), the peace treaty was signed. the treaty had clauses ranging from war crimes, the prohibition on the merging of austria with germany without the consent of the league of nations, freedom of navigation on major european rivers, to the returning of a koran to the king of hedjaz.
