ethical trap of “ethical relativism” when he acted on his own beliefs and values to prevent German influence in the area and “improve” Haiti, which in reality caused great unrest (BCEE, 2014d).

Wilson’s critical thinking was…

Germany was exceptionally unhappy because this treaty states that they caused the war and had to repay any “damages.” As Germany was unhappy about having to repay, shrinking the size of their armies and territory gain, the United States did not join the League of Nations…

The Rhineland was an area west of Germany that had been demilitarized as a result of the Treaty of Versailles. The Rhineland was demilitarized because France wanted assurance that Germany would not attack them and by doing that, France was protected. Rhineland was an important area for Germany because it was an industrial area that could produce a lot of coal. When the Treaty of Versailles was signed, Hitler did not agree with the conditions because he believed that it made Germany look weak and…

In 1914 they invaded and conquered Belgium another neutral nation. This was an uncalled for action for the Germans to do because they were a neutral nation not wanting to be involved in this bloody and costly war.
