Who was forced to assume responsability for the war under the treaty of Versailles?

The Treaty of Versailles forced Germany to accept full responsibility for World War One, even though it only entered the war due to its alliance with Austria-Hungary. The decision was made to have the treaty be signed at Versailles so that it would symbolically undo the Treaty of Versailles that had been signed at the end of the Franco-Prussian War of 1871. At the end of that war, France had lost and had been forced to pay reparations and give up territory to Germany, and the French desire for revenge for both the Franco-Prussian War AND World War One motivated negotiations at the 1917 peace conference.


Why would it be incorrect to say that revolution caused German unification?

Because a revolution did not cause German unification. German unification was a long process that involved Prussia, which is now part of Germany, taking control of the other states of Germany through various means- treaties, confederations, and even occasionally wars. The process was completed in 1871 when Prussia and a few other German states defeated France in the Franco-Prussian War.

How did Alsace Lorraine play a part in World War 1?

Alsace-Lorraine was an area of France that was very prized and valuable, but was taken by Prussia (later becoming a unified Germany) during the Franco-Prussian War. France and Germany were enemies from here on until the end of World War II, and the Franco-Prussian War sent France into isolation. France wanted to take back Alsace-Lorraine eventually, which led it to align with Russia after Germany's Three Emperors' League with Russia and Austria-Hungary failed. Eventually, the UK aligned with Russia and France forming the Triple Entente and Italy aligned with Germany and Austria-Hungary forming the Triple Alliance. All Great Powers were now involved in alliances and if a war broke out (which it did), this would cause the war to be extremely deadly.

What is the significance of the Franco-Prussian War and how it caused hostility between France and the newly unified Germany?

The Franco-Prussian war was one of the key events in the unification of Germany, which was not a single country until 1871. The new German nation had the most powerful army in Europe, and the Franco-Prussian war demonstrated that the German government (which was essentially Prussian) was perfectly willing to commit naked aggression. Naturally, this generated great concern in France. This fear led France to cultivate new alliances, even one with its traditional enemy, Britain. France's alliances with Russia and Britain in turn led Germany to fear "encirclement"--a fear which helped give rise to World War I. Germany also took possession of the French border regions Alsace and Lorraine (now usually referred to as Alsace-Lorraine). In fact, during the first weeks of World War I the French staged a major offensive to recapture the region. They thought this would cause the Germans to abandon their offensive through Belgium, but the Germans managed to repel the French attack without diverting any forces from western France. The Versailles Treaty returned the area to Germany. Germany retook it in 1940 and lost it again in 1945. ____ There was no 'naked aggression'. Prussia provoked France into declaring war ... The key significance in the longer term, in addition to accelarating German unification was that the peace treaty was far, far too harsh and turned France into a long-term enemy, hoping for revenge. In addition to the loss of Alsace-Lorraine, Prussia imposed heavy reparations on France. It paved the way for World War 1 and the Treaty of Versailles.

What of the following factors was not a major cause of World War 1?

The answer to a multiple choice question is "a lack of political alliances" because the exact OPPOSITE was the major contributing factor. Too many treaties bound powerful nations to defend smaller allies, leading to the inclusion of most of Europe in the war, along with the Ottoman Empire and eventually the US. Of course, Germany used this only as a pretext to join Austria-Hungary and seek even greater expansion than they gained in the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71).
