Due to conditions set forth in the treaty of versailles, germany lost much of its territory. why did this prove to be economically fatal to the nation?

By accomplishing the treaty of Versailles Germany lost around 13% of his European territory and 100% of his colony territory. As a consequence Germany lost 10% of his European population and 100% of his colonial population, this was 12 million people. Taking a big hit to his production and working force. The loss left Germany without any source of income outside Europe, decimating his productive capability to a staggering state after paying 33 Billion dollars.

Explanation:

The treaty o Versailles established that Germany accomplished certain conditions in which territory was one of the most important and had an amazing impact on its economy.

In the first place because Germany's European territory suffered a reduction of 13% of his total territory; 27,000 square miles. In the second place because Germany lost 1,026,321.69 square outside its European territory or at a staggering 100% of his colonies.

On the first hand, the colonies provided Germany a very wide source of income that sustained its development, on the other hand, its workforce provided them nice labor and productive force that executed all the tasks his European population couldn´t perform. And after paying his debt to the affected countries, Germany lost its balance and didn't have his very effective income source to provide it a resurge.
