Treaty of Waitangi

Just two decades after the world’s supposedly greatest war, a greater and more devastating one occurred. World War II, the most costly war in the history of mankind, had a lot of causes leading up to it. One such cause was the Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles was drafted by the Allied Powers after World War I during the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 to ensure that Germany would never rise to become a major military force again. Its multiple provisions required Germany to pay harsh…

World War I was undoubtedly one of the most brutal, yet eye-opening wars fought in recent history. Fueled by fervent nationalism, distrust, and rivalry throughout Europe, countries were already taking sides and building armies far before the first shot was fired.

Greece’s unwarranted invasion of Bulgaria and Bulgaria’s call for help initiated Briand to call an emergency session. The unanimity of the major powers on the course of action…

The “Treaty of Versailles” initiated the beginning of the anger Germany felt toward their opponents, the allied forces, at the end of World War I. Prior to this treaty’s creation, Woodrow Wilson unveiled an alternative plan, a plan intended to reunite that nations of the world and to heal the countries affected by World War I. However, rather than serve as a reunifying force, the plan was rejected in favor of a more punitive resolution, and the rejection of the ideals presented in Woodrow…

throughout Europe. This was essential if Wilson was planning on allowing large American banks to utilize and increase the massive amounts of wealth that they had gained from the war. Wilson also achieved including some of his fourteen point in the treaty of Versailles, such as setting up the League of Nations.
