Gained as well were German colonies in the Pacific and hegemony over European affairs without German involvement. Germany was demilitarized (much like Japan today). More importantly I think was what Britian and France gained in an intangible sense. This was a determination never to let such a war break out in Europe again. This noble sentiment had negative consequences and resulted in a period of appeasement of Nazi Germany that allowed it time to rearm and prepare for war.
