Krista Lerche Professor Akins 19, October 2014 US History 1301 Module 5 Assignment 3 – Treaty of Paris On April of 1782, peace negotiations began that included many American representatives such as Benjamin Franklin, John Jay, Henry Laurens and John Adams, as well as two British representatives, David Hartley and Richard Oswald.

The Treaty of Versailles was put together hurriedly in a manner that was vague hence exposing the Allies’ ideological rift in the conference. The Germans refused to accept war-guilt clause under Article 231 and the terms of reparations (Henig, 1933). This led to resentment over the Treaty by the Germans hence fueling nationalism. The issue of re-drawing the map in Europe and the Middle East was a heated debate amongst the Allies. France demanded that the Saar region and Rhineland were to be…

In my opinion, the treaty of versai did cause the start if WWII. . • The treatie of versallie is a treatie that was signed in 1919, after World War I, hoping to bring an end to it. • The treatie was supposed to end it, but unluckily, it was the cause for World War II. • It placed a number of limitations on the people of Germany. • There were many settlements in the treaty, one of the main treaty was that Germany had to take blame for the war and make compensations to the members under Dawes…

both significant events that bolstered Hitler’s control over the German army; however, the former was more fundamental to the establishment of Hitler’s control of the German military. The German forces had not seen the Rhineland since the Treaty of Versailles had been established, which had no influence of German diplomats to agree to the terms. This event was so significant because it altered the balance of power in Europe allowing Germany to lead an administration of aggression, meaning they…

The attitude towards war, one of loyalty towards country and countrymen, nationalism and patriotism prevailed before World War I. This attitude soon changed however, to one of anger, hate and pain towards war. According to ID2424546212 (2008), before men went to war and those that never entered into it, be it at the front or other brutal, face to face fighting, they had the idea that it is noble to fight for one’s country. Anyone that did not share this idea was frowned upon and would be made…

This source is Article 231 from The Treaty of Versailles, written by the “allied and associated governments” (Treaty of Versailles, Article 231). The Treaty was signed after World War 1, by Vittorio Orlando, an Italian Premier; David Lloyd George, The British Prime Minister; Georges Clemenceau, The French Prime Minister; and Woodrow Wilson, The American President (Interpretation: Treaty of Versailles 2014). It was basically signed in order to solve all the unsolved problems left after the war,…

decidedly an impersonal power, the people of Germany want a personal power, which they find in Adolf Hitler and the Nazi ideology (Kreshaw 11). External social conditions, such as the defeat of Germany in World War I, the harsh statutes in the Treaty of Versailles, the collapse of the Weimar Republic and of the economy led to the German population’s need for what Weber claims is a charismatic rule. The external conditions set the stage for Hitler and for Nazi ideology to gain support throughout…

in a new era of everlasting peace, all because of one document- the Treaty of Versailles. However, the unforgiving reparations that the Allies imposed on Germany in Article 232 of the treaty contributed to the collapse of the German economy. The economic instability then created an environment that thrust Hitler into power, which ultimately led to World War II. When the Allies and Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles on that June day in 1919, Article 231 (the “War Guilt Clause”) made it…

sympathize with his ideas. This speech would prove to be a catalyst for peace discussions and the forming of the constitution of the League of Nations. Wilson brought together both warring coalitions to attempt and adopt a treaty, the Treaty of Versailles, attracting them with points directed toward both parties. The Fourteen Points speech is still relevant today, in the continuation of the United Nations, a variation of sorts to the League of Nations. It could also be used in modern culture…
