Signing The Treaty Of Versaille Analysis

The Treaty of Versailles & WWII DBQ The Treaty of Versailles had the most direct impact on the general German acceptance of the Nazi Party, which in turn caused World War II to break out. While it was not the sole cause, if such harsh terms had not been imposed upon an already struggling post-war country, a war of the scale that the Second World War was might not have happened at all. David Lloyd George and Georges Clemenceau both wanted to ensure a strong Germany would never return, and given the great losses from both sides this is understandable, however giving such a nationalistic country with barely a military to protect themselves will only produce one thing: rebellion. While the Treaty of Versailles ended World War One, since it took land, restricted military, needed large reparations, and demanded an admittance of guilt from Germany, it set the stage for a bigger war and was one of the

In war there are 2 different stories to the side of the war. Great Britain in the war was going against the Germans and their view point was different. Britain were the ones winning the war before it was ended. The U.S. joined in at the end securing the victory for the allied powers. Woodrow Wilson brought his idea of the 14 points to Europe which Great Britain disliked. They did not like the 14 points because they would not be given credit for wining the war. Great Britain believed that since they won the war the credit should go to them, it would only be fair. Under the 14 points it also say's that there will be no more colonies. Great Britain was excepting more colonies for them since they had won the war. This is a surprise to Britain and did not like the ideas that Woodrow Wilson had came up with. When they treaty of versailles was composed the laws were very different. Germany was blamed for the war which was implying that Germany were the losers of the war. The treaty was also intended to take away colonies except Great Britain and France were able to keep their own. This was because they were the ones composing the treaty and made it good for themselves. It turned out that since Great Britain was such a major power in Europe that they made the rules. They were the ones making the decisions at the

The Treaty had what is referred to as the War Guilt Clause, which laid all the blame for the war on Germany (Doc D). Because of this, Germans despised the Treaty, and viewed it as "an atrocious injustice, an evil thing which must be destroyed" (Doc D). They wanted revenge against those who implemented the clauses, and in their opinion, unfairly blamed Germany. Hitler was accepted by Germans because he promised to destroyed the Treaty by violating its clauses and restoring Germany to it's former glory. Hitler gave back the pride and respect Germans had for their country, which the Treaty if Versailles had

The Treaty of Versailles was a major event in the 1920’s that was largely responsible for the events to follow, including the rise of Hitler and World War 2. Woodrow Wilson came up with a fourteen point plan of how to end the war with fairness and lasting peace. Germany was willing to accept the consequences because they trusted the treaty would be based off of Wilsons’ plan. Unfortunately for Germany and her allies, there were meetings with the four main allie leaders at Versailles to determine the final terms of the treaty without them. These men were determined to punish Germany, excluding Wilson, and hold them completely responsible for World War One. The consequences for Germany were unreasonable and unfair because Germany was not able

Unfortunately, the peacemakers were unable to solve this problem in a mature manner and instead they let the hatred overcome their ability to establish a more proper and fair settlement. The peacemakers still could not set aside the accusations of guilt. In return, the peacemakers took away German territory and came up with a settlement that forced them to pay for the damage even though they were already in major debt. Even though the intention of the treaty was to create peace, it created an uproar of hatred by all the parties involved in the treaty and elevated German nationalism. The result of this treaty was a poor start to Wilson’s “New World” and democracy in

After the fighting of World War I stopped, the nations of the Allied powers gathered in Paris, France to negotiate and write the treaty that would end the war. What would become known as the Treaty of Versailles was signed by Germany and most of the Allied powers. However, the United States did not do so. Both liberal and conservative opposition as well as the behavior and actions of President Wilson significantly contributed to the defeat of the Treaty of Versailles in the United States. Liberal groups saw components of the treaty as being insufficient and failing to ensure the interests of the United States and this belief spread to many. Conservative groups viewed aspects of the treaty as being unnecessary and too harsh on Germany and many came to agree. In addition, President Wilson’s refusal to compromise on ratification of the treaty made it very difficult to allow it to receive the support it needed.

The Treaty would do several things that would make once proud Germany a nation what was beat and would have to pay the price of war, both literally and figuratively. Woodrow Wilson, current President of the United States at the time of the war, had the philosophy that there should be no winners, as with winners there were losers. He had 14 points that would end the war, and leave little to no gunpowder to ignite another. However, they British and French did not heed these warnings, as they would go on the limit Germany’s army. Including officers, the army would be limited to 100,000 men (Document B). While it can be seen as rational, as a restricted army would limit Germany’s chance of wanting to cause another war, it could also be seen as embarrassing. As Belgium, a country that was one of the smallest at the time had 530,000 troops after Article 160 of the treaty was passed (Document B). Now if a country that is almost one-eighth the size of you, has an army that is 5 times larger than your it is quite embarrassing, especially at a time that the size of your army was almost representative of your power. The new country of Poland had 3.2 million troops, despite its young age, (Document B). All of this was just simply unbearable to the German population, but the fact that they had to agree to a guilt clause

Was signed by Britain, Spain, and France on February 10th 1763. It gave up all French territory in mainland North America which ended military threat posed by the French to the British colonies.

Treaty No. 2 was the second of the eleven treaties to be signed and established during Canada’s infancy. Also known as, “Manitoba Post Treaty”, named after a post of the Hudson Bay Company where the treaty was signed on August 21, 1871 at Manitoba Post, located on the northwest shore of Lake Manitoba. Treaty No. 2 was signed on behalf of the Ojibway by Mekis, Sou-sonce, Ma-sah-kee-yash, Broken Fingers, and Richard Woodhouse. Commissioner Simpson, accompanied by Lieutenant-Governor Archibald, James McKay and Molyneux St. John, Clerk of the Legislative Assembly signed on behalf of the crown. The Ojibway inhabit the area included within the treaty boundaries of approximately 92462 square kilometers located in central southwestern Manitoba and a small portion of southeastern Saskatchewan. Every first nation of Treaty 2 is located in Manitoba and these include: Dauphin River, Ebb and Flow, Keeseekoowenin, Lake Manitoba, Lake St. Martin, Little Saskatchewan, O-Chi-Chak-Ko-Sipi, Pinaymootang, and Skownan.

An agreement that they agreed was Adams-Onís Treaty. One agreement was the Spanish agreed to set the limits of their territory. According to the text it said, "what is now California’s northern border and gave up any claim to Oregon." Another one is that Adams had made an agreement with Britain. According to what I read it has said that they made an agreement of joint occupation of the area. This meant that both the United States and Great Britain could settle in orogen. Finally when Adams became president he had proposed that the two nations would be divided in Oregon. Britain refused so then they made in agreement that Britain and Americans could settle their instead of just dividing it into two.

France was very resentful when coming up with this peace treaty. The top three major component parts of the treaty were its attack on German military, territory, and the economy. The Germans were forced to downsize their military to one-hundred thousand men, to turn over all their submarines, and get rid of their air force completely. The second component forced Germany to lose West Prussia to Poland, causing Germany to now be divided in two. The treaty also took away Alsace and Lauren, two territories that were the very heart of German industrialization. Most of their coal came from this land. The third and the most obscene, was the so-called War Guilt Clause. This declared that Germany was to blame for starting the war and ordered Germany to pay reparations for the damage to the governments and their people because of the war. These reparations racked up to be thirty-five billion dollars. Thirty-five billion dollars was an enormous amount of money back then to anyone, let alone a country who has been just at war itself. Germany was already in its own debt because of this war and now on top of that, they now had to worry about paying for the other countries debt. This treaty put a lot of pressure on Germany. After Germany’s first payment of two and a half billion marks both Germany and France realized that Germany just could not pay the reparations on time. Germany was facing financial problems making it

The peace treaty to end the war, in the hope that there will not be another. The treaty was signed by Germany and the allies. The allies were represented by the main three countries, Britain, France and the United States. Both sides suffered huge losses, economically, and to their population. The allies lost over 4.6 million, and their enemies lost 3.5 million. The majority of the people at Versailles blamed Germany for the war, demanding that Germany would be crushed economically and militarily. The French wanted to make Germany pay, financially, where the United States believed that Germany should be punished in a way that would lead to European reconciliation. So President Wilson called for the introduction of the international peacekeeping organisation, “Wilson’s Fourteen Points”, to end all secret treaties. On the 7th of May, the treaty was presented to Germany. The Germans lost 13% of their land, 10% of their population. Germany also lost two borders at Alsace and Lorraine, which were returned to France. The German navy and army was dramatically cut, their air force and submarines were banned. They had to officially sign and accept “War Guilt”, taking responsibility for the war. They also had to pay reparations up to 6.6 billion pounds. The allies had created a treaty which weakened Germany and created an organisation for future world peace. Germany did not like the treaty, the loss of territory angered many Germans. The Treaty of Versailles ended the first war and created peace, but it also led to the start of the Second World

At the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, the Allied victors had to decide the peace terms for the defeated Central Powers. The questions, which had been challenging the peacemakers, were the position of Germany in the current international system, whether it had to pay both in land and in reparations, and how could security could be provided without hindering the post-war stability. Another question, which soon was arisen, was how the French interests for security and diminishing

The Paris of Peace conference was held on January 1919 in Versailles just right outside of Paris. Paris of Peace conference was called to establish reasonable terms to make peace with the countries after World War I. In that conference there was almost thirty nations that were participates. The “Big Four” were there as well, the big four consisted of Great Britain, represented by David Lloyd George, France, represented by George Clemenceau, United States, represented by Woodrow Wilson, and Italy, represented by Vittorio Orlando. David Lloyd George wanted moderate peace he also wants to alienate Germany as a naval threat. Vittorio Orlando wanted the territory was promised by the other countries. George Clemenceau wanted ironclad guarantees against future German military threat and he wanted Germany to pay for all the damages they caused during World War I. Woodrow Wilson wanted peace without Vengeance that were based on his fourteen points. One through five on his points consisted of open covenants, openly arrived at; which means no more secret treaties, freedom of the seas, free trade, and reduction of weapons. Six through thirteen consisted of self-determination of Europeans and point 14 consisted of the League of Nations. Woodrow Wilson was not successful in his goals, but in 1920 the League on Nations was established; after

no choice but to sign. This was as if they did not sign it would
