The Treaty of Versailles may have ended the war and its suffering but it does not make it part of a just war. A just war means that a war is fair; everything in it is done out of necessity, no innocents are harmed and nether country plays dirty or unfair. The Treaty of Versailles however was not that as it removed a lot from a country who didn’t start the war and left them defenseless and broke. The treaty made sure that Germany had to take the blame for the war as they had to sign a war guilt…

One person in history that had a definition of power is Keynes; his definition of power was explained through economics and with his ideas of what the Treaty of Versailles actually did balancing out power between the different countries that were involved.

Until this day a consensus has not been reached whether Germany was really the one blame for the First World War crimes. Article 231 of the Treaty, better known as the ‘War Guilt…

Quicksand The Treaty of Versailles once referred to as “A Peace Built on Quicksand” due to it’s lacking abilities in keeping peace between nations that have already been through a world war.

The cardinal objective…
