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.

WWI and the Versailles Treaty had only a marginal (limited) relationship to the world Depression of the 1930s

Thesis: The peace treaty that resulted from World War 1 was not too harsh of a punishment for the offenses committed.

The first World War had devastated the balance of the 20th century with effects still felt today. The war had obliterated once powerful imperial dynasties, birthed new states from the fallen imperial powers, supported the idea of independence in European colonies, and led to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. Yet, it brought hope to the newly independent territories and minority groups, while plunging a heavy recession to countries that were once world powers. The war ended with the defeat of the Central Powers (German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Empire, and the Russian Empire) and the signage of the Versailles Treaty. This treaty along with the League of Nations was created to prevent another global crusade from happening again, but failed and led to World War II, which started only twenty years after the Treaty of Versailles was endorsed. And even with end of the Great War, it was evident that the world would never return to how it once was, four years earlier, in 1914. The destructive warfare brought out several unnerving and irreversible social and economic consequences that shook modern society for decades to come.

World War One, or The Great War as it is sometimes known, significantly altered the course of history for all the countries involved. It ushered in previously unprecedented changes in American politics, economics, and society, through the passage of laws that blatantly violated constitutional rights, a redefinition of women’s role in the workforce and the promotion of agriculture) as well as a rise in radicalism and a new form of patriotism.

The Great War, or World War I, was the first modern warfare and the first total war in which almost everyone participated in it, both directly or indirectly. After the war, President Woodrow Wilson hoped that the Great War will be a war to “end all wars”; unfortunately, almost twenty years later, World War II erupted in Europe and the world plunged into an even deadlier war. With the end of World War I, the Treaty of Versailles was drafted to secure peace throughout Europe, but the cruel and unreasonable terms made World War II almost inevitable.

How did the Holocaust begin exactly? Well, an individual named, Adolf Hitler came to help get through the devastation that Germany was going through and he was also the leader (Chancellor) of the Nazi’s, then the First World War started and Germany lost, after the World War, Hitler blamed it all on the Jews for losing. He also blamed the Jews, other races, and homosexuals for not being able to sign the treaty of Versailles. This event happened between January 30th, 1933 and May 8, 1945.

The Holocaust began in 1939 and ended September 2 1945. The Holocaust began because of one man named Adolf Hitler. Hitler was the ruler of Germany who felt that Germany was a disrespected country and they would eventually be taken out by some bigger country. Hitler felt that the Jewish population were responsible for the the state of Germany. He also thought the Treaty of Versailles was to strict and couldn’t ever allow Germany to expand because of it. Hitler managed to convince an entire country to follow his words and would soon start World War 2 in which he was responsible for the deaths of over 1 million Jewish men, women, and children.

January 30, 1933 to May 8, 1945. Hitler became Germany’s chancellor when it first started and

Ever since the fall into sin nations have fought over resources and over who could have the most power. World War I, also known as the Great War was the outcome of many tensions and a sequence of calamitous incidents that plunged Europe into a disaster zone. Due to the use of the machine gun and trench warfare, most of the war was a battle of attrition between the “Triple Alliance” and the “Triple Entente”. Millions of people fought and died in this war, among them thousands of Canadians.

As a result of World War I, Germany was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles, made to pay for the war, and had to disarm themselves, which directly led into World War II. Germany went down the tubes after they were forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles. There economy crashed and there money had just about no value. Many people that World War II was just a 20 year break from World War I. They were right because just about 20 years later World War II started. There are many things that could contribute to starting the war but these are the main point and the most recognized.

Some people back in that time was wrongly accused for things. Society then should not have been able to witness, live through, or experience life during WWII. September 1939, WWII began. It began when France and Britain declared war on Germany. They declared war on Germany after Germany invaded Poland.

Aside from money being a problem for Germany, this treaty gave Hitler the upper hand. It for one disarmed all military restrictions, which let Germany rebuild their military and proceed forward by invading Poland, which is what started the war.

The Central Powers and Germany were defeated by the Allied Powers in the First World War. The Armistice was signed on 11 November 1918 putting an end to the war. On June 28, 1919, Germany was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles (Thompson 548). The treaty demanded Germany to take full responsibility of all losses and damages which had occurred during the war. Also, the treaty called for the disarmament of Germany 's military force, territorial concessions, and war reparation payments. Although the Treaty of Versailles did not permanently weaken the German state, many Germans perceived the treaty as a demeaning continuation of the war by political means. Post-war, through the 1920s and early 1930s, Germany 's economy suffered greatly because of the harsh conditions of the Treaty of Versailles, the impact of the Great Depression, and a long succession of unstable governments (Thompson 550). During an era when European nationalism and imperialism was on a path to recovery and rise, Germany lacked political identification, military prowess, and leadership (Thompson 556). Their nationalistic pride had been wounded as a direct result from defeat and humiliation in the World War I. Germany desperately hoped to be redeemed, and found the qualities needed for recuperation in one of the most infamous leader in modern history.
