The Treaty Of Versailles And Japan

The Versailles Treaty helped cause WW2 due to Germany’s territorial loss as well as the strict limitations imposed on Germany’s military. Germany’s territorial losses were one of the main contributors to the beginning of WW2. Document A provides a map showing the German border before WW1, and the territorial loss by Germany after WW1. Germany lost a significant amount of land including: the Polish Corridor, Lorraine, Alsace, and Danzig. Throughout, Document A helped suggest Germany’s territorial struggles.

There are many things that the Treaty of Versailles help cause World War II. Economic losses, territory loss, overpowered by size, reparation and war guilt were causes that led to World War II. The Treaty of Versailles brought World War I to an end but began World War II.

However, the Allies wanted to make this a professional way of ending WWI, so as a result of that, they came up with the Treaty of Versaille. Out of the countries who did not share the same feelings, Japan stood out in particular because of how strongly they were against it. The Treaty angered them for many reasons. It did not allow Japan to receive their desired amount of territory such as Eastern Asia. Japan was also faced with differences in how they were treated compared to other countries in times of negotiation.

The Treaty of Versailles was meant to make peace but ended up causing a world war in a bunch of harsh ways for Germany. Germany took all of the blame for the war and made them pay huge reparations. Led to economic hardships, making Germans mad. Which gave a group with intentions of world dominance to take over Europe, starting a second world war. There are a couple reasons why Germany had a hard time.

Between the years 1919-1939, the Treaty of Versailles affected Germany in many ways such as economically, politically, loss of German territories, and caused Germany’s armed forces to struggle. The Treaty of Versailles was when Germany and The Allies signed a peace treaty, ending WW1. The treaty stripped Germany 25,000 square miles of land and over 7 million people. The treaty also caused Germany to go into a great depression.

The Versailles Treaty was created in order to prevent any further wars from happening such as the calamity that was WWI, however could it be the very reason the Germans felt they needed to strike back at their enemies and cause an even greater calamity than the first World War known as WWII? After the first world war, the Versailles Treaty was created by the nations that won the first world war. Although it was majorly created by the delegates of the 3 biggest powers: Premier George Clemenceau of France, Prime Minister David Prime Lloyd of Britain, and President Woodrow Wilson of the U.S. It consisted of terms that Germany had to abide by after they were forced to sign it after being ignored

The United States began to reach outward for trade, showing interest in Japan. Almost forcing the country to begin to trade with the U.S.

Instead of Wilson’s mindset and actions, it was the Senate and popular opposition that led to the defeat of the Treaty of Versailles in the U.S. Senate. This can be seen through two points. Firstly this can be seen when, Wilson claims that Article X is an inevitable system to the League of Nations. The other can be seen when Herbert Hoover talks about the wrongs imposed in the Treaty. Due to the fact that Wilson had such a stubborn mindset, it goes to show how strong his opposing forces were.

It wasn’t a sudden decision of the Japanese army to bomb Pearl Harbor, it was a long series of events which led to Pearl Harbor bombing. In fact, in the years antecedent to 1941 there was a lot of tension between the two countries. There were several events which scattered the attack on Pearl Harbor which was then used by the American government as an alibi to declare war to Japan. Over the course of the 1930s, Japan's increasingly expansionist policies brought it into renewed conflict with its neighbors, Russia and China (1).

Even though the direct result of the Treaty of Portsmouth was that it brought an end to the Russo-Japanese war, there were many other consequences. Japan acquired the lands of Manchuria and Korea while Russia was able to keep a portion of Sakhalin Island. President Roosevelt not only won the Nobel Peace Prize for his action, but this started an international relationship between Japan and the United States. As both of their influences and beliefs spread through Asia, they both agreed to respect each other’s claimed territories and interests.

Later there was also the Nine Power Treaty to assure compliance with the Open Door policy, and the Four Power Treaty designing Pacific security pact. These agreements were poorly designed, missing to establish some measure of enforcing them.

attack at pearl harbor everything went downhill, it all came back up. Both nations trust

Though the treaty of versailles created peace and harmony in many nations after the first world war it left Germany to be humiliated and dishonored and to be worthless as a result Germany revolted, plunging the world into a second world war.

What responsibility did each of the “Big Three” have for the failure of the Versailles Treaty to bring peace to Europe? Be sure to discuss what each wanted to accomplish.

The Treaty states, that Japan would protect sailors from America who sailed by in two harbors. It also said that they had to open two ports for refueling, provisioning and trading for American ships. The same went for
