Interwar treaties

Woodrow Wilson once said: “Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.” And right he was, or else he would not have said this in the year 1919, when he joined the Peace Conference and became one of the Big Four. The Big Four were the allied winners of World War I who created the Peace Conference to prevent another war from happening. They did this by establishing and agreeing upon laws and peace terms. To this day, historians have not recognized the main reason of World

Germany was forced to surrender after the first world war, on 11 November 1918 and were made to sign the Treaty of Versailles. One of the terms was to pay reparations of 6.6 billion (11625.34 Australian Dollars) for the damage Germany caused. They were unable to repay these reparations, and in an attempt to stabilise their economy America loaned Germany money. In the 1920’s Germany became politically and economically unstable. This was known as The Great Depression, which began in the United States

The Treaty of Versailles planted seeds throughout Europe that ultimately helped Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler rise to power. The effects of the war, along with the Treaty of Versailles and the Great Depression left Germany with lost land, limited military, and a weak economy. World war 1 was not everything Italy hoped it would be because they received very little land in the treaty, their economy became unstable, and they lost millions of lives. Life after the war was brutal, protests broke out

Key points in favor of a war against Germany expressed by Woodrow Wilson in his speech “Woodrow Wilson War Message 1917” that this essay will address include Germany’s use of submarine warfare, and Wilson’s unwillingness to keep armed neutrality open as an option to avoid conflict. Also, Wilson’s insistence that his declaration of war was based on preserving democracy and liberty in the world, instead of on revenge. Robert La Follette countered Wilson’s case in “Anti-War Speech 1917; Robert La Follette”

Peace Conference and The Treaty of Versailles had many comparisons and contrasts. In addition, The League of Nations, and The Treaty of Versailles were both made after World War I to be sure that another war would not happen in the future; both of these solutions were mobilized when our world was oppressed, but many believe that both of them have similarities and differences. To, conclude, both bureaucracies (The League of Nations, and The Paris Peace Conference and The Treaty of Versailles) had similar

nations and was finally ended by the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. The treaty was made mostly against Germany in an attempt to force them to make the reparations that would be equal to the damages they had caused during the war. Though the Treaty of Versailles was meant to end a World War, it instead resulted in building the tensions that would soon erupt into the Second World War; the faultiness in the Allies’ formation of the treaty ultimately led to German resurgence and vast resentment

Although many people see the Treaty of Versailles concluding World War I as a successful compromise, in reality, the agreement was a failure at its core resulting in conflicts, specifically in China such as the Shandong problem caused by the “21 Demands”, and the May 4th movement, the fall of the Republic of China, and the intensified relationship between Japan and China that led to World War II. There are three specific incidents were caused by the Treaty of Versailles, a failed compromise, and

Fourteen Points and the Treaty of Versailles. The aftermath of the world war probably would have better if the negotiating countries settled for Wilson’s Fourteen Points instead of pushing for the Treaty of Versailles. President Woodrow Wilson outlined the Fourteen Points in a speech to congress on January 18, 1918. The first point made by Wilson in his Fourteen Points speech stated that there can’t be any alliances and

The treaty of Versailles created by the “Big Four” and the people in my class were very similar in some parts, but differed in complicated ways. Some of the things that the treaties had in common was that Germany had to take responsibility for the war and that Alsace-Lorraine. The treaties were different in how the original had Germany paid for all the damages while in the treaty made in class made Germany pay half and the other countries pay some. I believe that the original treaty would be more

The deception and lies from a very fragile and unstable government was another huge factor in the causing of the downfall of the Weimar Republic. Lastly the global Great Depression added onto the reparations from the treaty of Versailles created a hyperinflation that critically crippled Germany’s economy and lead to the collapse of the Weimar Republic. The Great Depression created a loss of jobs in the workforce, which meant a loss in support for political leaders
