He wanted Germany to pay for the cost of the damage. • He wanted revenge on Germany for all the suffering. • He wanted revenge for the defeat in the war of 1870-71 and the loss of Alsace-Lorraine. • He wanted to ensure Germany could not attack France again by taking land and weakening industry, reducing her armed forces. • He wanted to split Germany into a number of small states. If not Germany should lose the Rhineland, Saarland, Upper Silesia, Danzig and East Prussia.
After World War I, the Allied and Associated powers concluded a series of peace treaties with the so-called Central powers: Germany (at Versailles, June 28, 1919), Austria/SaintGermain (September 10, 1919), Bulgaria (Neuilly, November 27, 1919), Hungary (Trianon, June 4, 1920), and Turkey, (Sèvres, August 10, 1920). Turkey fought successfully against the implementation of the August 10 treaty, and a new peace agreement was negotiated and signed at Lausanne, July 24, 1923. The United States Senate refused to ratify the treaties, however. Instead, the U.S. government concluded separate peace treaties with the former Central Powers.
The sequence of peace negotiations of WWI: 1917: 9/12 Armistice between Romania and the Central Powers 15/12 Preliminary armistice between Russia and the Central Powers as the Russian empire was in collapse due to communist revolution 1918: 3/3 Peace treaty between Russia and the Central Powers in Brest-Litovsk 7/5 Peace treaty between Romania and the Central Powers in Bucuresti 29/9 Armistice between Bulgaria and the Entente 30/10 Armistice between the Ottomans in Turkey and the Entente 3/11 Armistice between Italy and Austria-Hungary 11/11 Armistice between Germany and the Entente Russia had left the Entente after the revolution and Western allied forces (mainly UK, US and Japan) began fighting on Russian soil on the side of the white forces against the Bolsheviks until 14/11 1920. 1919: 28/6 Peace treaty between Germany and the Entente in Versailles 10/9 Peace treaty between Austria and the Entente in St-Germain 27/11 Peace treaty between Bulgaria and the Entente in Neuilly 1920: 4/6 Peace treaty between Hungary and the Entente in Trianon 20/8 Peace treaty between Turkey and the Entente in Sèvres, not ratified 1923: 24/7 Final peace treaty between Turkey and the Entente in Lausanne The winning side was thus the Western alliance of the Entente: Britain with the commonwealth countries, France, Belgium, Japan, Brazil, USA, Italy, Serbia, Montenegro, Portugal, Greece, Siam and Nepal. Romania was also winning in the peace treaty. Yugoslavia was formed of different regions with Serbs, Croats and other ethnic groups. Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hejaz and Armenia were new countries through the peace treaties after fighting against the central powers. Military conflict arose though between Poland and the new Soviet Union 1919-1921, where borders were redefined at the peace treaty of Riga 1921. Finland and the three Baltic countries also gained independence from Russia after short wars of liberation 1917-1919. The formation of these 4 states were basically not a part of the peace treaties of WWI although the war made it possible. E.g. Finland's border with Russia was defined in the treaty of Tartu 1920.
After World War I, Denmark gained the territories of North Schleswig from Germany following a plebiscite held in 1920. The region, also known as Sønderjylland, had been part of Germany since the Second Schleswig War in 1864. The plebiscite allowed residents to vote on whether to join Denmark or remain with Germany, resulting in the majority choosing to join Denmark. This territorial gain was part of the post-war adjustments outlined in the Treaty of Versailles.
Between 1882 and 1935, several significant world events occurred, including the rise of imperialism and colonial expansion, leading to tensions and conflicts globally. The First World War (1914-1918) dramatically reshaped political boundaries and social structures, followed by the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, which imposed heavy reparations on Germany. The Great Depression, beginning in 1929, caused widespread economic turmoil, leading to social unrest and the rise of totalitarian regimes in Germany, Italy, and elsewhere. Additionally, the League of Nations was established in 1920 in an effort to promote peace, though it struggled to prevent future conflicts.
