The Paris Peace Settlements took place during the Paris Peace Conference, post-WW1 in 1919 in Versailles, France. The settlements were an attempt to lay a new foundation for international peace relations and negotiate post-war treaties. Representatives from many countries involved in WW1 came to take part in the negotiations. Each country had different goals for the settlement treaties. Their common focus was on the need for a modern industrial society, but the high costs of war made it difficult to negotiate and please the needs of every country. In turn this did not solve many problems, and left some countries without resolutions, creating more tensions. The conference was for the most part run under biased opinions. The popularity of the “Big Four” meant that the peace settlements would be under the control of Great Britain, France, the United States and Italy. Not only did this allow for those four countries to focus on decisions that would benefit their own country, but they had the authority to be involved in the decision making process for settlements regarding other countries. Meaning ideas could be direct or redirected by the choices of the “Big Four,” where commonly unfair settlements resulted. One such occurrence happened to Russia, who benefited almost nothing from the Paris Peace Conference since for the greater part of the peace settlements Russia’s presence in the world was ignored and not recognized. The aims for the peace settlements were most often decided by the United States. Their influence on overcoming conflicts and tensions was the idea behind strengthening international law. This meant a great focus was put on the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty gave little acknowledgment to solving the problems of the WW1 since it was for the most part dedicated to outlining restrictions for Germany. So the peace settlement attempted to resolve conflicts by focusing on Germany land claims, navy and army sizes, and putting pressure for Germany to take responsibility for WW1 to have the country take care of the war reparations. Having the main treaty from the Paris Peace Conference only focusing on Germany meant little focus was put on other countries, so in the end the peace settlements guaranteed little about solving the problems created by WW1, but mainly made sure Germany was punished for taking part in the war.
