Germany was made to pay the winners for the costs of the war; this would go on to cripple their economy, and they resented it. The root causes of the war were never really settled, and it was said at the time that the Treaty of Versailles didn't really end the war; it just postponed it another twenty years. (This unfortunately proved to be true.)
The agreement was signed by general John pop he was the one who had beeb serious to sign the peace agreement.
One weakness of the agreements made at the conclusion of World War I, such as the Treaty of Versailles, was the imposition of heavy reparations on Germany. These reparations placed a significant economic burden on Germany and contributed to the country's economic instability, which in turn helped create the conditions for the rise of Adolf Hitler and the outbreak of World War II.
The Treaty of Versailles made the Germans take all the blame for the war and made them pay massive amounts of money. Suffice to say, Germany wasn't happy. To combat this, Germany just printed lots of money, which made the worth go down. So, Germans were all poor, poverty-stricken. Adolph Hitler came to power and used all of the resentment the Germans had against the rest of the world and began WWII

Countries fell out in World War 1 because of failure to honor agreements or the signing of fresh agreements with enemy countries that counteracted the initial agreements. Other times, e.g. in the case of Italy, the opposing sides made better offers that made some countries abandon their original allies.

Alliance systems contributed to the outbreak of war in Europe by creating a web of obligations that drew multiple countries into conflict following a single incident. The intricate agreements, such as those formed in the Triple Alliance and Triple Entente, meant that a localized conflict could quickly escalate. For instance, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 triggered a chain reaction of mobilizations and declarations of war among allied nations, transforming a regional dispute into a full-scale world war. This interlocking system made diplomatic resolutions more difficult, ultimately leading to widespread hostilities.
The complex web of alliances in Europe created a situation where a localized conflict could escalate into a broader war. When Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in 1914, Austria-Hungary's declaration of war on Serbia activated a series of alliances; Russia mobilized to defend Serbia, leading Germany to declare war on Russia, and subsequently on Russia's ally, France. This domino effect of mutual defense agreements transformed a regional dispute into a full-scale global conflict, as countries were drawn in to support their allies. Ultimately, these alliances made it difficult for nations to de-escalate tensions, contributing significantly to the outbreak of World War I.
Yes. The treaties that compelled countries to support other countries led to the involvement of most of the countries of Europe. This might have occurred eventually anyway, as evidenced by the entry of the US in 1917.
Contracts are official documentation. Some agreements are made with oral promises and/or handshakes.
Yes, Bill Clinton made 2,058 executive agreements, and 209 treaties. Due to trade agreements such as NAFTA, Bill Clinton made more executive agreements than any of immediate predecessors dating back to Nixon. Source: The Politics of the Presidency by Joesph Pika
