This limited the army to just 100,000 of voluntary soldiers, and they also had to melt down their weapons, they were forbidden to use any sort of air forces too. This had the affect of making the Germans feeling angry and weak and thirsty for revenge. Also Germany was to pay £6.6 billion in damages which badly affected their economy.

The Treaty of Versailles was a formal peace treaty between the Word War I Allies and Germany. The leaders of Britain, France, Italy and the United States met in Paris in early 1919 to draft the treaty.

The points included the formation of an international organization known as the League of Nation, which was adopted in the treaty. Representatives of each country signed the treaty in June 1919.

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

Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and the United States met in Paris after World War I to discuss the details for peace.

Germany was invited until after the treaty had been

Formed in 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was considered to be a “humiliation of Germany” and was made “in order to bring 20 million Germans to their deaths and to ruin the German nation,” as Hitler once firmly expressed in his speech of April 17, 1923. Hitler was deeply outraged by the outcome of the treaty and criticized the ‘November Criminals,’ the German politicians who had signed the armistice. The treaty took a toll on Germany’s territories, military, finance and people. Previous territories of Germany were given to other countries, such as Alsace-Lorraine to France, and the League of Nations were in charge of other German territories and colonies overseas in Africa and the Pacific. The size of Germany’s

In the year 1945, as the second world war was coming to an end the 99-day Ford strike occurred on September 12, 1945 Windsor, Ontario. Due to the end of the war, thousands of soldiers were returning back home and actively searched for opportunities to rejoin the workforce. Despite all the outrageous effects of the battlegrounds, the end of the war brought forward Canadian’s mixed emotions and actions. For example, it caused a slowdown in the wartime production and brought forward self-assured Canadian unionists. This quickly triggered a significant increase in union memberships and the number of strikes during the time. Ford being one of Canada’s largest workplaces was struggling in maintaining and meeting its worker’s demands. Before the end of the war, Union Auto Workers productively collected union dues directly from its members. However, with thousands of members coming back from the war, it was more challenging to collect the union dues, making it a full-time activity (Canadian Labour Congress, n.d.). The United Auto workers local 200 wanted union security and demanded that Ford approve both union shops and dues check- off. After the second world war many companies including Ford decided to layoff 1,500 worker at Windsor, which also triggered the “Windsor’s Ford strike”. The worker’s necessities and wants lead to there overpowering decision to go on strike (Pryke, 1997). Although, the strike lasted 99-days it significantly influenced and changed labour relations in

They decided to make Germany pay for the war with coal, animals, boats, wood, and other resources such as money (Wawro). The treaty made Germany pay $5 billion, give up land they stole from other countries, and disarm their soldiers (Khan Academy). Germany was left in great debt when they had to pay the $5 billion (Khan Academy). After Germany gave up the land they took from other countries, the Treaty of Versailles unscrambled all the boundaries of the European, African, and Asian countries that were controlled by Germany (Wawro). After the treaty was created, in the US congress, Republicans and Democrats both were disagreeing with the treaty (Khan Academy). Because they disagreed, the US never became a member of the League of Nations (Khan Academy). The Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919 but never went into use until January 10, 1920 (Wawro). The UN did not know that this would create a big

In December of 1918, The Allies of Europe met in Versailles to Sign possibly one of the most changing documents in history. The document they signed nearly turned Europe upside down, broke down and put up many new social barriers, and definitely made history. The Document that the allied forces all gathered to sign was known as the Treaty of Versailles. Initially, the treaty intended to keep peace between the nations, however, forcing Germany to sign the treaty ended up as one of the worst decisions anybody could have made. The forced signing created tensions between Germany and other countries, let Germany rise back up to Power, Created an optimal situation for Germany to wage war, and ultimately caused World War II, resulting in one of

France, Italy, Britain and the U.S. met at the Capitol to talk about the terms of peace for the post war. Germany thought this was unfair due to the fact they were not able to attend this talk. The Allied powers told Germany to just sign the treaty and they did not need to know what it was about. Germans refused to sign this treaty and some talked about going back to war.

April 1st, 1939, the day the war ended. Across Spain, Nationalists rejoiced over their victory, but with every victory there must also come a defeat, and the Republicans were scared as to what theirs meant. For months now, people had been desperately fleeing the Francoists. Their journey was filled with suffering, scores of people died from starvation or exposure to the cold, and their arrival was no better, with the French government refusing to offer aid and herding the refugees into transit camps and holding pens on the beach. They were rightfully afraid; dark days were coming for anyone with any connection to the left, but no one knew that at the time. As three of the most influential women in the anarchist movement planned their

Germany as a Victim On the 16th June the German government, lead by Count Brockdorff-Rantzau, were presented with the Treaty of Versailles. They were originally given 14, and then 21 days, to agree to it.
