Treaty of St. Germain

On 10 September 1919 in St. Germain near Paris, the peace treaty is concluded between „German Austria“, the post-war remains of the Danube monarchy, and the Entente nations. The government in Vienna is required to agree to extensive cessions of territory (inter alia South Tyrol to Italy) and recognise the independence of Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Yugoslavia. In addition, high reparation payments are required from „German Austria“ just as from the German Reich. The professional army must be limited to 30,000 soldiers. The successor state to the Danube monarchy is permanently prohibited from being annexed to the German Reich. The country’s name must be „Republic of Austria“, a change which will occur on 21 October.
