Why did the US Senate refused to sign the treaty of Versailles?
They refused to sign it because they opposed the league of nations.
In the treaty of Versailles Britain and France wanted Germany to pay for damages it caused in Europe, when in fact that Germany's ally Austria-Hungary and some eastern Slavic nation started the war. and from that, the treaty made Germany one of the poorest European nation in the world, like the German Mark (German currency at that time) had no value in it that Germans would use it for kindling to warm their houses
Didn't they think it would make them have to protect all those countries in Europe no matter what.
Why weren't Germany invited to sign the Treaty of Versailles?
Unless I'm very mistaken I do believe they were.
A group of Politicians, I think members of the SPD (social democratic party) were quickly instated by the allies, after the war had finished and forced to sign to the terms of surrender. This group was later referred to by Hitler as the November Criminals, were the alleged stabbers in the "stab in the back legend". They were called this because they supposedly betrayed the German people by surrendering the war, purposely sabotaging all chances of victory, being Jewish blah blah blah.
But yeah, the reason they weren't invited to take part in the negotiations was because they probably would have said "F**K OFF!", as the terms were particularly unfair. But if they refused they faced the prospect of invasion, so they didn't really have a choice. Not very nice was it?
How many German men were allowed after the treaty of Versailles?
100,000.
They also were not permitted to have more than 6 naval warships and they werent allowed any tanks or submersibles/u-boats.
Which was the worst punishment faced by Germany in the treaty of Versailles?
Perhaps the most humiliating portion of the treaty for defeated Germany was Article 231, commonly known as the "War Guilt Clause," which forced the German nation to accept complete responsibility for initiating World War I. As such Germany was liable for all material damages, and France's premier Georges Clemenceau particularly insisted on imposing enormous reparation payments. This was a staggering amount of money.
Who was the least satisfied with the outcome of the Treaty of Versailles?
Germany. (+Hungary as its territory was reduced to one third of the original one.) But Turkey lost the most territories.
There are generally three main types of refuse: organic waste, recyclable materials, and non-recyclable waste. Organic waste includes food scraps and yard waste, which can decompose naturally. Recyclable materials consist of items like paper, glass, and certain plastics that can be processed and reused. Non-recyclable waste includes items that cannot be reused or recycled, such as certain types of packaging and contaminated materials.
What is the connection between the treaty of Versailles and the Vietnam war?
1. None
2. Separate time
3. Separate war
4. Separate countries (nations)
5. French Indo-China remained French Indo-China from the 1800s thru 1940/41 regardless of said treaty.
There is a connection between WWII and the Viet War. France lost the territory during WWII, attempted to get it back, which resulted in the French Indo-China War (also called the 1st Indochina War) which led to the division of Indochina which in turn led to the so called "American" Vietnam War.
Actually there is, Read "A Shattered Peace" by David A. Andelman. This book does a very good job in describing how the Treaty of Versailles influenced history up to today. To say Vietnam and The Treaty of Versailles had nothing to do with each other is kind of short sighted. Kind of like the drafters of the treaty in 1919.
It was the fact that the League of Nations were to be in the Treaty of Versailles. Since the U.S was isolationist, they didn't want ton involve themselves with the other nations. The 14 points just didn't make it any better for it to pass. It wasn't the opposition of the liberals and the conservatives.
Which international organization established by The Treaty of Versailles was disbanded in 1946?
League Of Nations.
Why America not ratify the Treaty of Versailles?
Even though many of America's civilians supported it, the Senators were not pleased with.
The treaty hardly put anything that Woodrow Wilson (the President during that time) what he wanted in his Fourteen Points except for the formation of the League of Nations.
Rather than putting the other important points, the treaty said that it placed all of the blame on Germany and that they forced Germany to pay for its actions.
Germany had to give up its overseas empire and some of its own land and resources! It was also forced to pay huge reparations to Britain and France, which unfortunately they couldn't and were buried in debt...
That was why the senators hated the treaty and never ratified it...
Were the allies justified in imposing a very harsh treaty on German Why or why not?
Yes they were, because of Hitler and Nazism had just passed. Therefore countries were wary of any future incursions from the Germans. Also, they restricted Germany from having a military, which still stands to present day.
Who was the Japanese representative in the Treaty of Versailles?
The Treaty of Versailles was a result of the Paris Peace Conference. Japan was represented by former Prime Minister Marquess Saionji Kinmochi.
It was unfair to pin all the blame on World War 1 on the Germans when Hungary and Austria were the real culprits for wanting to squelch the Serbians, Bosnians and Balkan peoples. Germany became involved when the Austrian Hungarian rulers asked for help in a war that had spread from the Balkans to France and Belgium (The Flanders and Ardenne forests) then to Turkey and around the globe. There were so many issues and countries fighting for so many reasons it got to be ridiculous. In the end the Serbians still did not get all the lands and respect they deserved. They were looked upon as trash. The entire war could have been avoided if the aristocratic rulers had given up their rule, let peoples have there own nations and self rule. The House of Hapsburg really was to blame. The Germans never even knew what all was involved when Austria Hungary asked for help. The Germans failed to get all the information. They would not have become involved had they known all the reasons for the war. Although it was unfortunate and unfair the Germans did do extreme damage and harm. They level many villages and towns. They used chemical warfare that did permanent damage to the people, even some of their own. If you think Hitler was the originator of concentration camps, extermination and murders think again. He learned all that from the Germans doing all that during World War 2. If you ever get a chance to watch Military Discovery or Military History channel's World War 1 shows you should see the atrocities the German's under the Kaiser did.
The Treaty may have been unfair but the Germans were unfair too.
After World War I, the Treaty of Versailles laid the blame for the war for must part all on Germany even though they weren't the first nation in Europe to declare war. The terms of the treaty stated as follows: They would lose the territory of Alsace-Lorraine to France They would lose the territory of Eupen and Malmedy to Belgium They would lose the territory of Northern Schleswig to Denmark They would lose the territory of Hultschin to Czechoslovakia They would lose the territory of West Prussia, Posen and Upper Silesia to Poland Saar, Danzig, Memel and all of its overseas colonies were placed under the control of the League of Nations but the people in the Saar, Danzig and Memel were allowed a vote in the future if they wanted to remain a part of Germany in the future. They had to give the territory they gained from the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk back to Russia. Some of the land taken from Germany was formed into new countries such as Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia and Poland's territory was increased. The German Army was reduced to 100,000 men and they were not allowed any tanks or aircraft, they were limited to 6 capital naval ships with no submarines. And the West Rhineland and 50km East of the Rhineland was marked a demilitarized zone but the Allies were to keep an army there for 15 years. Germany was not allowed to unite with Austria to improve the economy and they had to pay back reparations that of 6,600 million British Pounds which was well beyond Germany's capacity to pay.
