Mr.Fung(Fok),

As(In)myopinion,wecouldfindthatthistreatycannotkeepworldpeaceforlonginmanyareas.Forexample,thevictoriousstatestriedtoforceGermanytoacceptthewar-guiltclauseandreduceitsarmyto10,000men.ItwasobviousthatthesecouldweakentheforceofGermanybutalsoincreaseditsenmityagainsttheAlliesand,itwaspossiblethatthesehadspeededupthecausing(outbreak)oftheWorldWarII.
Ontheotherhand,Germanywasforcedtopayahugeindemnity,giveupallhercoloniesandsomeofherlandandreturnAlsace-LorrainetoFranceatthesametime.Asweknow,theTheAlliesweretryingtorecoverfromthewarandtakerevengebygettingthoseindemnityandcolonies,howeveritmadetheproblemworse.ThiscouldnotfixtheireconomicproblemsbutcrippleGermaneconomy.ItsresultwasthatGermanyhadlostallitsimportanteconomicplacesandwasunabletopaytheindemnity.Allcountrieswerefacingseriousproblemandtheireconomyhadbeencompletelybrokendown.
Asaresult,theTreatyofVersailleswasunabletokeeppeaceamongthecountriesnorfixingtheireconomicproblem,butdeepenthehatredbetweenthecountriesandhelpsettingofftheWorldWarII.

In1914,theFirstWorldWarbroken(broke)outbetweentheCentralPowersandtheAllies.In1917,oneoftheCentralPowers,Germany,adoptedUnrestrictedSubmarineWarfare.SheattackedtheshipoftheU.S.trading(sailing)toBritain.ThismadetheU.S.veryangry.WiththehelpoftheU.S.,theAlliesdefeatedthebigbrotheroftheCentralPower,Germany.In1919,theCentralPowersandtheAlliesheldameetinginParisaftertheFirstWorldWar,whichwascalled‘TheParisPeaceConference’,whichThiswasusedtosolvetheproblemsbroughtbythewar.InordertokeeppeaceamongEurope;theEuropeancountries,theAlliesforcedGermanytosignapeacetreatycalled‘TheTreatyofVersailles’in28June1919.ButwastheTreatyofVersaillespeacekeepinginnature?
Afterourdiscussion,webelievedthatitwasn’t.
Firstly,bythistreaty,Germanyhadtoreduceitsarmyto100,000men.Althoughthenumberofsoldiershadbeenreduced,thisdidn’tmeanthatthestrengthoftheGermanarmyhadalsobeenreduced.ItwasbecausethetrainingofGermanywasgoodatthattime.Moreover,thisitemwasunfairtoGermany,sosheattemptedtotakerevenge.
Secondly,Germanyhadtopayahugeindemnity.Justincase,Germanywantedtopaythehugeindemnityquickly,soshestartedtoprintthebanknote.TherisingnumberofbanknoteledtothedevaluationofthecurrencyandtheinflationinGermany.Germansshouldspendmuchmoneytobuythingsthanbefore.Theylivedinaharsherlife,sotheyattemptedtofightback.(Goodpoint!
)
Thirdly,Germanyhadtogiveupallhercoloniesandsomeofherland.ThiswasasenseofhumiliationofGermany.Also,itensuredGermanytotakerevengeagainsttheAllies,inordertogetbackherland.
Anotheritemwasthat,Germanyhadtoacceptthewar-guiltclause.Webelievedthatthiswastheharshestterminthetreaty.ItwasbecausemanycountriesinvolvedintheFirstWorldWar,notjustGermany.AlthoughGermanyledtotheoutbreakoftheFirstWorldWar,sheshouldn’taffordallthefaults.Thesigningofthewar-guilt
clauseinsultedGermany.Shedecidedtotakerevenge.
Finally,GermanyhadtoreturnAlsace-LorrainetoFrance.Originally,Alsace-LorrainewastheterritoryofFrancetill1870s.Butaccordingtothepeacetreaty,GermanyshouldgavebackAlsace-LorrainetoFrance,whichwasanimportantindustrialregionofGermany.ThisworsenedtheeconomyofGermany.Germanssufferedalotfromthis.PanGermanismroseupinGermany.
Inconclusion,wethinkthattheTreatyofVersaillescouldn’tkeeppeaceinEurope.TheTreatyofVersaillesonlydeepenedthehatebetweenGermanyandothercountries.Sheneverforgottheinsultandattemptedtotakerevenge.Moreover,manyGermansthoughtthatthetreatywasunfair,theytriedtoendthetreaty.AndthisledtotheoutbreakoftheSecondWorldWarin1939

iii.)ThisbeliefspreadinsomecountriesandsomepeopleformedfourParties,whichtookouttheSecondWorldWar.Thetotalitarianregardedwarasameanstosolvetheirexistingproblems.AstheriseofthesetotalitarianleaderswasbecauseofthetermsoftheTreatyofVersailles,Ibelievedthatitwasnotpeace-keepinginnature.
