Why the Versailles Treaty Failed to Bring Peace and Stability

The Treaty of Versailles did not help ensure peace and it did not help Europe recover from war because Europe’s economy was still the same. Document 3 states that the treaty did not help Europe make the defeated Central Powers into good neighbors, also an arrangement wasn’t reached to restore disordered finances of France and Italy. This document explains that after the war was over and the treaty was made Europe remained the same. Document 8a article 51 also states that the treaty didn’t help Europe because the territories stopped being under

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.

The treaty of Versailles was the peace settlement signed after World War One. The treaty was signed in Versailles Palace near Paris-hence its name-between Germany and its Allies. The three most important politicians were David Lloyd George (Britain), Georges Clemenceau (France) and Woodrow Wilson (USA) also known as ‘The Big Three’.

The treaty of the Versailles was an agreement between France, England and the United states. Its intentions were to prevent a second world war however, it was a total fail. An obvious reason for not being effective could be because not everyone was included in the conference such as Russia, and Central Powers. Instead, Prime minister George Clemenceau had thought he would speak for all of europe and wanted to be the strongest of europe. Clemenceau seeked revenge towards Germany, in fact he desired most dismantle the best of Germany 's military and their nationalist pride. As for the United States, Wilson implemented the fourteen points which focused on self determination of people. Only few of his points were included in the treaty but these points had been the reason for conflicts happening in europe. Participation from everyone is important and not allowing everyone 's input could lead to negative outcomes such as, The league of nations which most likely failed because the United States wasn’t allowed to participate.

And to top it all off, these countries were allied with France, who had the largest military. Feeling threatened, and unsettled because of the treaty, they wanted to grow their military once again, causing them to revolt and fight again in World War

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

Second, the treaty of Versailles was not too harsh of a punishment because Germany needed to repair the damage they had dealt to the citizens of the allied countries.

“The Allies continued to regard the treaty as an international contract” (Doc D) Laurence V. Moyer, Victory Must be Ours: Germany in the Great War 1914-1915, 1995 since Germany accepted the fact that the war was caused because of Germany’s aggression and her allies, and caused all the loss and damage to the allies. After continuous years of the treaty, Germans saw the Versailles treaty as an “evil thing which must be destroyed,” and as an act of humiliation because they were made to be seen as a disgrace and cast off from other nations. When Adolf Hitler came to power, Germans admired him because he made them feel a sense of pride, reawakened a sense of self-respect and forced the world to look at Germany from a new perspective. (Doc D) Leading to a huge impact on why it helped cause World War II since Germany now saw how betrayed they were by the treaty, and felt the need to put their trust on a new leader such as Hitler, who could restore Germany into a powerful nation again, in their

How does the result of one war lead to another? In 1918 WWI come to an end, the allies taking the roll of victors. 17 million people killed, civilians included and 10 million injured. After the war came to an end, leaders of the world came together to create the Treaty of Versailles in hope to avoid yet another war. Little did they know it would be the cause of the next. How did the Treaty of Versailles cause World War II? Reparations, loss of territory, reduction of military, war guilt, all consequences of the Treaty of Versailles, all which Germany had to pay for.

World War 1, fought from 1914 to 1918, ended with Germany on the losing side, and Britain, France, the U.S., and Russia on the winning side. Many countries were unhappy due to the fact they had lost so much money and resources from the war, and vowed never to go through the terribleness of a world war again. Little did they know around 20 years later the second world war would begin. So France, England, and the U.S. Presidents met in Versailles, France to figure out how to gain peace. France was angry they had suffered so much from the war, and proposed Germany pay big sums of gold, land, resources, and reduce their military. This was agreed upon, and became known as the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty was a factor that helped cause WW2 due to crestfallen Germany’s loss of money, land and military.

The Treaty of Versailles was created by all of the European nations involved in World War I. There was one country that was not allowed to have any say in the treaty and that country was Germany. Later, Germany and other countries would engage in yet another world war. The Treaty of Versailles helped cause World War II as seen through the German territorial losses, severe reparations placed on Germany, and the military restrictions placed on Germany.

One reason why the Treaty of Versailles was unsuccessful in maintaining peace in Europe was due to the power it granted to the Allied Nations. As a result of the war, the colonial territories belonging to the Central powers were taken away as reparations to the Allies. Thus, all German and Turkish colonies were taken away from and subsequently placed under the control of the Allied Powers. These colonies were significant in the Treaty of Versailles’ inability to sustain peace in Europe because the Allied powers’ economy saw a massive influx as a result of the raw materials of the colonies. This contributed to further discord beyond the Treaty of Versailles, as the German and Turkish people envied the profitability of the colonies under Allied control and felt entitled to these profits. Furthermore, another reason the Treaty of Versailles was unsuccessful was due to the lack of sanctions it placed on the Allies themselves. While the Treaty was careful to act with severity against the Central Powers, especially Germany, on the other hand, the Treaty failed to set preventative measures in place against the Allies to limit the severity with which the Allies could pursue reparations. As a result of the lacking preventative measures, France was extremely aggressive in seeking reparations, so much so in fact, future agreements such as the Dawes Plan in 1924 and the Young Plan in 1929, which sought to roll back the aggressiveness with which the Allies sought reparation payments.

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

Five years later after the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand Franz the Treaty of Versailles occured. It ended the war between Germany and the Allied Powers, but it was a cause for WWII. This treaty had delegates from 32 different countries, including the Big Three-Lloyd George (Britain), Clemenceau (France), and Wilson (United States). The Big Three mainly dominated this treaty and each representative wanted something different. Wilson wanted a end to war and thought that the creation of League of Nations help (based on his fourteen points) would help. He wanted to ensure that Germany would not be destroyed, and also not blame Germany for the was. Clemenceau wanted revenge and to punish Germany for the war and also forced Germany to pay

The Paris Peace Conference took place in January 1919 at Versailles near Paris. The purpose of the gathering was to build up peace after World War I. In spite of the fact that about thirty countries took part, the agents of the United Kingdom, France, the United States, and Italy wound up noticeably known as the "Enormous Four." The "Huge Four" commanded the procedures that prompted the detailing of the Treaty of Versailles, a settlement that finished World War I. The Treaty of Versailles explained the bargains came to at the meeting.
