Read this passage from the Treaty of Versailles. The armed forces of Germany must not include any military or naval air forces. Germany may, during a period not extending beyond October 1, 1919, maintain a maximum number of one hundred seaplanes or flying boats, which shall be exclusively employed in searching for submarine mines, shall be furnished with the necessary equipment for this purpose, and shall in no case carry arms, munitions or bombs of any nature whatever.

According to the passage, what equipment could the German military maintain?

100 submarine mines
naval air forces
100 unarmed seaplanes
armed military forces

Answer 1

The passage shows that the equipment the German military could maintain was 100 unarmed seaplanes.

What equipment could the Germans maintain?

After WWI, the Allies did not want the Germans having much equipment in their army so that they would no longer pose a threat.

As a result, they stripped them of their arms and munitions but allowed them to have 100 seaplanes which were not to be armed and were to be used to search for submarine mines.

In conclusion, option C is correct.
