What was the purpose of the mandate system created by the Treaty of Versailles?

to turn former German colonies into independent nations
to limit the size of European armies in overseas territories
to transfer territory from European control to United Nations control
to give Allied powers control over territory the Central powers once held

The mandate areas of the League of Nations were territories governed by a member state of the League of Nations under a special mandate given by it. Before World War I, these were the former German colonies in Africa and the Pacific Islands, as well as some areas that had previously belonged to Turkey in the Middle East.

Mandate governance was not intended to be permanent, but mandate areas had to be gradually developed towards self-government. However, no deadline had been set for their independence. In practice, however, the status of the mandate areas did not differ significantly from that of the colonies.
