League of Nations

national leaders known as the “Big Four”—David Lloyd George of Britain, Georges Clemenceau Of France, Woodrow Wilson of the United States, and Vittorio Orlando of Italy. The first three, in particular, made the important decisions. None of the defeated nations had any say in shaping the treaty, and even the associated Allied powers played only a minor role. The German delegates were presented with a fait accompli. They were shocked at the severity of the terms and protested the contradictions…

On June 28, 1919- The Versailles treaty was signed by the victorious nations that defeated Germany in World War One. The treaty was made to punish Germany and stabilize Europe. The question is how did the Versailles Treaty help cause World War two? Three examples of why the Versailles Treaty caused World War two were, they lost territory, Germany's army became smaller, and Germany needed to pay back for what they did. The Versailles Treaty made Germany lose territory. This was bad because…

To what extent did the Treaty of Versailles reflect the views of the Big Three? The first of the Peace Treaties after World War II took place in the Palace of Versailles, close to Paris, where 32 nations were represented, though none of the defeated countries were invited. Georges Clemenceau was adamant that the Conference was to take place in France, as a symbol of their survival and strength. The reason for the Treaty was to pay the reparations and ensure that Germany would not return to its…

being a strong and powerful people. This is best described by the goals set in the Treaty of Versailles. The first goal of the US was to establish democratic elections and also establish the League of Nations in which a body of National representatives could solve disputes without going to war.

After World War 1, in the 1920’s many nations just wanted peace. Unfortunately, in the 1930’s, dictators were angry about the results of the previous war and uproars of possible wars were starting to appear. Germany, Italy, and Japan were becoming aggressors. Meanwhile, the League of Nations and the democratic countries did nothing to stop them. The British Prime Minister Chamberlain, believed that appeasement was the best solution, but many others disagreed and thought that collective security…

something needed to be done to prevent another world war. They created the Treaty of Versailles to accomplish. They essentially wanted to cripple Germany by forcing them to pay an insane amount of money back after the war. This also created the league of nations which were a group of countries that assembled to keep the peace in the world. Some of the things established after WWI set up the right circumstances for WWII. Once WWII broke out it was apparent…

to declare war on Germany, saying “The world must be made safe for democracy.” Wilson helped negotiate the Treaty of Versailles. The agreement included the charter for the League of Nations, an organization intended to arbitrate international disputes and prevent future wars. Wilson had initially advanced the idea for the League in a January 1918 speech to the U.S. Congress in which he outlined his Fourteen Points for a postwar peace settlement.

life in World War One. The United States did not have money for war either, they were trying to re-gather things at the home front. We see that when the nation turned against immigration, people were overall anti-European due to many of the radical ideas that originated such as socialism and communism. I would also say that the League of Nations…

Kissinger describes how Great Britian was afraid to confront Germany and risk war, which Hitler…
