How did the Treaty of Versailles threaten France's security?

The "Treaty of Versailles", the full name of which is the "Peace Treaty between the Allied Powers and Participating Countries Against Germany", is a peace treaty between the victorious powers (Allied Powers) and the defeated powers (Allied Powers) after World War I. Its main purpose is to Punish and weaken Germany.

The victorious powers carved up Germany's overseas colonies, mainly in Africa. Our Qingdao colony in Shandong was transferred to Japan, which triggered the May Fourth Youth Patriotic Movement.

2. Limit Germany’s ability to wage another war. It cannot have tanks, aircraft, aircraft carriers, large battleships, submarines, etc. The army can only have 100,000 people. The west bank of the Rhine was occupied by the Allies for 15 years, and Germany could not fortify the 50 kilometers on the east bank.

France gained territory in the Alsace-Lorraine region, and later invaded the Saarland region of Germany with Belgium, occupied the coal mines there, and demanded huge compensation from Germany. You can’t tell it no matter how you look at it. Threats to France's security, France is the country that takes advantage the most.

It can only be said that France suffered a serious tactical failure.
