Go.  I'd argue that Neuilly was the only one approaching fair, and even that inexplicably gave chunks of land to Yugoslavia.

EDIT:  Dammit, screwed up the poll.  It was meant to be a "Check all that apply" poll.

Sèvres wasn't fair, as it dismembered Turkey. Saint-Germain-en-Laye wasn't fair, as it dismembered Austria. Trianon wasn't fair, as it dismembered Hungary. Versailles wasn't entirely fair but it didn't dismember the target nation (of course, it debatably caused WWII). Really the only decent one out of the bunch was Neuilly-sur-Seine.

Germany's territorial losses in Versailles aren't too bad, but the crushing war indemnity payments and the War Guilt Clause make it a lot worse than the border adjustments look on paper.
