The Yalta Conference dealt with four problems. The first one was the status of Poland. Roosevelt and Churchill agreed that Poland should be able to choose its own government. The Polish leader who left Warsaw when Germany invaded demanded that pre-war anti-Russia and anti-communist government was seen as the real Polish government. Stain, who had set up his own little government before Yalta had no intention of giving the power back to the Polish leaders who had left Warsaw.
After millions of deaths occurred during World War I, a peace treaty known as the Treaty of Versailles was created to maintain peace as well as prevent war; however, coincedently, the same treaty that was made to sustain peace helped prompt the start of yet another bloody war known as World War II. During the end of World War I, Germany was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles as punishment for Germany and her allies being the aggressors of the war. Reparations, the War Guilt Clause, territorial loss, and restricted military were all factors as to how the Treaty of Versailles helped trigger World War II. War reparations were payments that Germany were required to pay as punishment to World War 1. Document C displays how Germany was set
After World War I, treaties such as the Treaty of Versailles, Treaty of Trianon, Treaty of Lausanne, and Treaty of Sèvres aimed to establish peace. Document 1 was written in 1920, shortly after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. The author, John Maynard Keynes, criticizes the Treaty of Versailles for lacking resources/services for economic rehabilitation and stability in Europe. Keynes's perspective makes people question the treaty's effectiveness in addressing underlying issues that could contribute to future conflicts. Tsonchev argues that internal disagreements among the Allies weakened diplomatic efforts against Germany, possibly contributing to the rise of Hitler and future conflicts.
Negotiations, if done correctly, create peace among the sides. The Versailles Treaty was a sad excuse for a negotiation which resulted in even more conflict than ever before. Between the years of 1914 and 1918, powers such as Germany and Austria-Hungary engaged in war against France, England, Russia, and the United States (Hook). This resulted in the fatality of 17 million military officials and civilians throughout the warfare (Hook). Once the bloodshed concluded, leaders of the world met and planned to create a treaty to end all wars.
Additionally, Germany has also weakened the Czech’s security system with more power from the appeasement. This illustrated the importance of the differences between
This is demonstrated when Winston Churchill states that if the Allied powers had worked together to protect Czechoslovakia, then that could have prevented World War II (document 6). Churchill’s statement shows that collective security is the way to respond to aggression and that appeasement only provokes a war. The war lasted six years with many different battles between the Allies and the Axis’s. Hitler did not only invaded Poland, but from there fought his way through many other parts of the world such as Greece, France, Britain, and the Soviet Union. The quote, “It is us today.
Finally, Germany wasn 't going to give up. They wanted to win this thing. President Wilson said "Victory would mean peace forced upon the loser. " Meaning, if the Allies won the war, then Germany would have to face the consequences, which would end the war (deaths,
Regarding the Yalta conference,the first agenda was demanding Germany to surrender the war, because the victory of allied power was inevitable and the defeated of Germany was obviously seen. Therefore, the big three met at Yalta to discuss the future and the fate of Germany and they agreed to divide Germany into four parts among the big three with France, once the war end. The second attempt which was discussed at the conferences was the fate of Japan, it was decided and agreed that Stalin should take a control and invaded Japan to end the war, hence, it could take the revenge over
After the First World War, the Treaty of Versailles was set in place to attempt to preserve the peace between the Allies and Axis people for the years to come and to accommodate for all the harm that came to civilians during this time of war. The negotiation took roughly six months to conduct before the Allies signed and put into effect final copy of the treaty. During this conference, numerous ideas of how the countries involved should approach the treaty were debated, but a limited amount were included. The treaty angered several counties considering what they wanted was not included. However, for other countries, it was the opposite; for example, the Treaty enraged Germany because they felt their punishment for the war was unwarranted.
Munich, Germany is where the Nazi Party was formed in 1920. Munich was a major industrial and transport center and that is what made this city a major target for the allied bombers. Munich also created the first concentration camp 10 miles west of the city. Munich was important to the rise of Nazism and the Nazis called Munich the “Capital of Movement.” The Nazi Headquarters were also located in Munich.
The Treaty of Versailles, a document of all the demands Germany had to fulfil due to them being ‘responsible’ for World War 1. The Treaty was said to be dictated by three countries, France, England and the United States. Many countries believed that the demands were to extreme and not well thought out, even the English Prime minister and the president of the United States had worries about the impact it would have on Germany. Even though these three countries stood together to create a punishment for Germany in the end, the French PM Georges Clemenceau got his way the most. Which didn’t bring the German people much joy as his way of dealing with the aftermath of WW1 was revenge paid in all what Germany had to offer.
Tensions in Europe, but also in the Pacific, and the League of Nations seemed helpless. At the same time, the British Prime Minister advocated a policy of appeasement, motivated by the memory of WWI, increased the proportion of revenue allocated to the military budget, and wished to develop its sphere of influence. Hitler enjoyed this policy also during the Anschluss in 1938, which was the annexation of Austria by Germany, annexation approved by the Munich agreements, signed by France, Germany, Great Britain, and Italy, represented respectively by Edouard Daladier, Neville Chamberlain, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. The declaration of war on August 23rd, 1939 until December 1941 by the Japanese leadership pursued two courses: they tried to get the oil embargo lifted on terms that would still let them have any territory they wanted. (Funk & Wagnalls, 2016).
“When the peace treaty is signed, the war isn’t over” (Marlantes). When the fighting stopped on the battlefront of World War I many leaders of different countries gathered together in Paris. They were there to discuss the Treaty of Versailles that would ensure permanent peace. The treaty that was created was extremely unfair to Germany. The Treaty of Versailles was far from perfect, but some of the biggest faults were forcing Germany to take the blame for the whole war, demanding they give up all of their colonies and decrease the size of their military, and paying reparations to the Allies.
The first reason why Chamberlain followed a policy of appeasement was because Britain was too weak physically, psychologically, and economically. When the First World War ended in 1918, Britain did not have the military forces ready to commit themselves to another war a mere 19 years later in 1937. A part of this reason is because the Treaty of Versailles among other things, had Germany undergo a complete military disarmament, however, all the remaining countries were hesitant to do so as well which resulted in a general military disarming, leaving Britain with little to equip themselves with. Another reason is that Britain did not have the manpower or the resolution to commit themselves to another war after the one they had just completed. Furthermore, after the First World War, Britain was in a poor economic state due to their great spending during the war leading them into debt, which was by no means improved with the
