Just before the conclusion of the devastating World War I, which had taken more lives than any other war in history, President Woodrow Wilson and the delegates of the Senate in 1919 had conglomerated to come to a decision as to the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles, which had primarily been proposed to set forth conditions which would ultimately put an end to the war. Specifically, according to Wilson’s propositions at the Covenant, the Treaty would make peace with the United States’ adversaries by …; however, its major caveat was that it would divert all blame and responsibility for the war to Germany. This clause would cause several disputes between Wilson and his fellow Senators, which had eventually led to the vetoing of the Treaty
The Treaty of Versailles was written at the end of WWI. The primary authors were France, Great Britain, and the USA. The goal was to make Germany pay and prevent them from causing another war. It failed miserably and this is obvious because WWII followed WWI. The treaty of Versailles puts Germany in such bad circumstances that they revolt and started WWII.
“I asked that Britain, together with France and other powers, guarantee the security of Czechoslovakia. If that course had been followed, events would not have fallen into this disastrous state” (WH 6). Winston Churchill points out that if the government had prevented the fall of Czechoslovakia when they had the chance, the events would not have followed this path. If Britain and France had supported Czechoslovakia from the start, they may have been able to avoid fighting World War II. While they thought they were making a small sacrifice for the greater good, they actually just forced more nations to be sacrificed and eventually had to make sacrifices themselves by fighting the biggest world conflict to date.
This proves the instability of the Treaty of Versailles. It does that by showing the amount the Treaty of Versailles was able to change in such a short amount of time, but also pays homage to the fact later in document 6 that the Treaty of Versailles paid close to no attention to the economic hardships these newfound countries would go through. The Treaty of Versailles offering no help to these new countries show that it was not stable and there were holes in it that needed to be refined to prevent poverty and anger across these new
Source 1 is a political cartoon that depicts Hitler’s rule in Nazi Germany in 1936. The cartoonist portrays Hitler standing proudly and doing the Nazi salute while proclaiming that he has “restored honour and freedom to the German people.” In 1936, Adolf Hitler contravened the Treaty of Versailles and sent thousands of troops to Rhineland, which is to be a demilitarized land and refused to pay the reparations. By doing so, Hitler appealed to the German people who felt that the treaty, including the War Guilt Clause, was a source of shame to the country and he quickly rose to power. Additionally, Hitler rose Germany out of poverty and reduce unemployment drastically.
Neville Chamberlain had thought that with this agreement to give the Sudetenland to Germany, Hitler would end because the other countries feared him and wanted to avoid what happened in 1914-1918 (The Munich Conference). This fear, however, drove Hitler even more to continue. This appeasement was a great mistake by the world leaders at the Munich Conference because they showed Hitler that they were afraid of him, allowing him to do more things that went against the Treaty of Versailles without any counteraction. Showing Adolf Hitler the fear of the other European countries and allowing him to take control of the Sudetenland was one of the greatest mistakes that the great leaders could make at the Munich

This paragraph is going to talk about the Germans’ reaction to the Treaty of Versailles. Germans had a negative impact about the Treaty of Versailles.

Hitler knew how he could maintain his leadership, because one thing he knew was that he was feared by his enemies/opponents.
