I took my test today and did alright, could have done better. I started on my assigned blog that is due Sunday night. In the blog, we must define what the Treaty of Versailles was, what it specifically did, and if I think the treaty helped lead to WWII and explain.
Treaty Of Versailles
- one of the peace treaties at the end of World War One
- ended state of war between Germany and Allied Powers
- signed June 28, 1919. exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand
- it was signed at the Versailles Palace near Paris, and that's where it got it's name
- it requried Germany to accept sole responsibility for causing the war
- three most important politicians, David Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau and Woodrow Wilson
- many hundreds of people were involved in the treaty
- David Lloyd George of Great Britian had two different views on how Germany should be treated
- he was a politician
- he feared that the rise of communism in Russia could spread into western Europe
- did not want Germany treated in lenience
- Georges Clemenceau of France thought Germany should be brought to it's knees so it could never start war again
- Woodrow Wilson of America believed Germany should be punished but in a way that would lead to European reconciliation as opposed to revenge.
