Hints
- It is signed seven months after the armistice.
- Nineteen nineteen.
Show the answer
1919
Why
1919, on 28 June, five years to the day after the assassination at Sarajevo, a symmetry the organisers chose deliberately. The treaty did not name a reparations figure; it created the commission that produced one two years later, which is a distinction a great many arguments about Versailles ignore.
