Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye (1919)

Peace Treaties and Territorial Settlements

The Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye was signed on 10 September 1919 by the victorious Allies of World War I and by the Republic of German-Austria. Like the Treaty of Trianon with Hungary and the Treaty of Versailles with the Weimar Republic, it incorporated the Covenant of the League of Nations, which meant it was not ratified by the United States; the United States instead concluded a separate peace treaty with Austria in 1921.

FAQs

What did the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye require of Austria?

It stripped Austria of the non-German parts of its empire, forbade union with Germany, capped its army at 30,000 men and made it liable for reparations.

The treaty was the peace settlement with Austria after the First World War, signed on 10 September 1919. Austria lost all the non-German parts of its former empire: South Tyrol went to Italy, Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Dalmatia to Yugoslavia, Bohemia and Moravia to Czechoslovakia, Galicia to Poland, and the Bukovina to Romania. A union of Austria and Germany was forbidden, and the Austrian army was limited to 30,000 men. Austria was also made liable for reparations, and a note attached to the treaty declared that Austria must take its share of responsibility for the war.
