The treaty had been drafted during a peace conference held in Paris starting on 18 January, but Germany had been shut out of the deal-making, while the Allies debated the matter alone, unable to agree amongst themselves. The treaty was eventually presented to Germany on 7 May. It was very harsh. The counter-proposals submitted on the 29th were all rejected. Germany refused to sign. On 17 June the Allies gave Germany five days to decide or have the war resume. Finally Treaty of Peace between the Allied and Associated
Powers and Germany, Signed, 28 June 1919 (Date of the above commemorative pmk) . Location, Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles, Paris, France. Also the Covenant of the League of Nations was signed on 28 June 1919 as Part I of the Treaty of Versailles, and
