A. Germany was defeated and made to pay reparations.
On April 1917, America entered World War I. Its participation provided well equipped Armed forces, as well as relief, strength to the Allies. Over a year later, on 11 November 1918, Germany was defeated.
Once Germany officially surrendered, months later the Versailles Peace Conference was held to set the peace term for Germans. It lasted a year, from January 1919 to January 1920 and resulted in the Treaty of Versailles, a treaty that established Germany as the aggressor of the war, made it take responsibility for the war and made it pay undefined reparations.
