World War I: The Big Three at the Center of the Peace Settlement of Versailles

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.

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.

In 1921, The Big Three came to a conclusion. The Big Three were the the three most important men at the Versailles conference. The three men's names were :George Clemenceau, the Prime Minister of France,Woodrow Wilson, the president of America, and David Lloyd George, the Prime

Everyone wants peace but it is not often that it is accomplished, especially between nations. Even though World War 1 was over, disputes between nations did not come to an end, but continued. The Treaty of Versailles was one of many attempts. It was a document that ended World War 1; however, it solely blamed Germany for the war and forced Germany to pay reparations. Furthermore, the treaty was also unfair because Germany did not even attend the meeting, Germany was blamed and humiliated, and they also had to pay everything.

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

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

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

On January 22, 1917, Woodrow Wilson addressed the United States Senate appealing for a settlement of conflict for ‘peace without victors’. Unfortunately the Treaty of Versailles was signed by participating nations and could not end the hostilities that terrorized to destroy European Civilization. The Treaty of Versailles is one of the most important social and physical agreement or disagreements that help shape the European 20th century. The treaty was very important because it violated Wilson’s ideals. The Treaty of Versailles was the official end of the World War I and was ultimately the main reason that led to World War II.

The Big Four: And Others of the Peace Conference, by Robert Lansing offers a firsthand perspective on what occurred during the Peace talks following the First World War. Robert Lansing primarily concentrates on the four biggest players during the Peace talks, Georges Clemenceau, Woodrow Wilson, David Lloyd George, and Vittorio E. Orlando. Lansing’s report of these four men compromised three fourths of the entire book, leaving the rest of the book to the representatives of other States, such as Eleftherios Venizelos, Emir Feisul, Louis Botha, and Ignace Jan Paderewski. One of the most significant features of this book is that it offers a different perspective of the Peace talks because it is a look at how people viewed these Statesmen and their actions at that time.

Promptly after the First World War had ended there were many debates about who or what caused the war. Historians such as Fritz Fischer argued that Germany was the to blame for the entirety of the war but there have been many more ideas of what was the cause of the war and therefore causing peace to fail. The main ideas amongst historians for the underlying causes of the war are the different balance in power due the formation of alliances, imperialism, militarism and also the July Crisis of 1914. This essay will argue that the alliances were the main cause of peace failing as with the constant conflict of interests and increasing tension it made it almost impossible to create peace in Europe in 1914.

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.

The year “1918 marked a pivotal role in Europe, specifically Germany, as the first world war came to a culmination with the signing of the peace settlement known as the Treaty of Versailles.” The resulting outcomes of world war 1 caused significant turmoil in Europe as well as thousands of casualties on the home front, so a necessary means to end the war could not have come sooner. The Treaty of Versailles sparked differing points of view, as the question to whether this treaty was a success or a tremendous failure came into debate through the years to come post war life. As with any war that touches the face of any country and its citizens, the process of repairing relations across countries as well as socially and economically boosting an entire nation now came into the

The Successes and Failures of the Treaty of Versailles in Addressing the Causes of Conflict and Restoring Peace and Normality
