1) THE PEACE SETTLEMENT (1919-1920)
- Paris Peace Conference
- Rejection of reconciliation, allied forces wanted to compensate their loses
- The Peace Treaties:
a) 5 treaties (one for each of the defeated powers)
b) Treaty of Versailles: severe terms to Germany
c) No tanks, dreadnoughts or air force were allowed to be reinforced in Germany
d) Alsace-Lorraine was recovered by France
e) East-Prussia passed to the recently formed Poland
f) Economic reparations
e) Germany had to recognise the war-guilty clause
- The League of Nations: promoted by W. Wilson in 1919 to promote peace and tolerance in future occasions. It was a failure because nations did not ever reach any agreement.
