Solution
The post-World War I treaties significantly altered national borders in Europe and Asia. Here's how:
A. France and the United Kingdom did not gain territory in Europe post-WW1. However, they did establish mandates in the Middle East, including modern-day Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, which were carved out of the former Ottoman Empire.
B. The Treaty of Trianon and the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye led to Austria and Hungary becoming separate states with considerably less territory than the Austro-Hungarian Empire had before the war. Austria lost land to Italy and several new states, including Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. Hungary lost about two-thirds of its territory and one-third of its ethnic Hungarian population to neighboring states.
C. The Treaty of Versailles led to the creation of new nation-states from formerly German territories. However, Czechoslovakia was not formed from German territory but from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Austria was already a separate entity post-war, but it did lose territory.
D. The Treaty of Lausanne, which established the boundaries of modern Turkey, did not give additional territory to Turkey. Instead, it marked a loss of the vast territories that the Ottoman Empire had held outside the Anatolian Peninsula.
