Reactions (Treaty of Versailles)

Advantages

  • Some people thought it was fair- war caused many deaths and damage
  • Germany had to be made weaker- couldn't go to war again
  • France and Britain wanted revenge

Disadvantages

  • Germans- weak and resentful- lead to anger and future problems (another war?)
  • Germany couldn't afford reparations
  • Many new countries were poor
  • Peacemakers faced problems and pressure from home (Germany)
  • Germany did not accept defeat
  • Didn't accept 'war guilt' for starting the war
  • Lost industrial areas- could not rebuild
  • Lost pride without armies
  • Other countries weren't disarming (Germany angry)
  • Suffered economic crisis (Germany)
  • Lost colonies
  • Some Germans lived under foreign rule in new countries like Poland and Czechoslovakia
  • A 'Diktat'- Germany had no choice

Evaluation

Without Germany, Russia or USA in the League of Nations, it'd be hard to keep peace... (Could lead to another war...?)
