The major transformative impact is that it institutionalized international relations, made international law reflect abstract liberal principles instead of the realities of power dynamics, and decreased the importance of diplomacy (from here on out, countries favor large-scale conferences and forums). The Axis powers challenge to the Versailles regime was to attempt to overthrow this new system and restore the pre-Versailles order, but their defeat led instead to its further entrenchment. Obviously certain countries, like Togo, Cameroon, Gabon, Nigeria, etc, have felt a lasting legacy since their boundaries were redrawn. Togo was completely partitioned and half of it was annexed to Ghana, the remaining half was Frenchified and a large section of Cameroon was annexed to Nigeria. Austria was permanently separated from Greater Germany, which the Germans failed to overturn as they lost WWII. Alsace-Lorraine was permanently annexed by the French.
