Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Germany was not divided into different countries by the Treaty of Versailles (that happened after WWII). Eliminate A.
• Option B: Germany was stripped of its colonies, not given colonial status. Eliminate B.
• Option C: The Treaty of Versailles forced Germany to cede a large amount of territory (e.g., Alsace - Lorraine to France, parts to Poland), which angered Germans. This is correct.
• Option D: Germany was not deindustrialized; it had to pay reparations and limit its military, but not deindustrialized. Eliminate D.

Answer:

C. Germany lost a massive amount of territory.
