 | | Article 156 of the treaty transferred German concessions in Shandong (additional info and facts about Shandong), China (A communist nation that covers a vast territory in eastern Asia; the most populous country in the world) to Japan rather than returning sovereign authority to China. |  | | Because of this, the result was said to be a compromise that nobody liked. |  | | In effect, Clemenceau and many other French wanted to impose policies deliberately meant to cripple Germany militarily, politically, and economically. |

| | Gibraltar on the Rocks by Thomas D. Grant - Policy Review, No. 116 |
 | | The Treaty of Utrecht is an instrument on which, ironically enough, Spain in some part bases its claim to Gibraltar. |  | | The United States approach to missile defense cannot logically or in principle survive the erosion of rebus sic stantibus that Spains arguments about the Treaty of Utrecht would unavoidably cause. |  | | Spain bases its position on Gibraltar on alleged obligations arising from the Treaty of Utrecht, signed in 1713. |

 | | The Newfoundland government became increasingly impatient with French presence on the Shore - indeed, with the very existence of the treaties - and vigorously campaigned against French claims of an exclusive right, and the illegality of settlement. |  | | Insisting on their alleged exclusive right, the French forced Newfoundland schooners fishing on the Shore to move on to the Labrador coast, and apparently pressured a significant number of settlers to move away. |  | | However, there was an attempt to find a solution at the end of the American Revolutionary War. |
