Friendships with the Big Three

Believed wilston to be too idealist and had no trust in the awesome David Lloyd George

1) WAR GULIT - although appearing simple its the most complicated. Germany was forced to take all the blame for the war although they had some of the least amount of gulit             2) REPARTIONS/COMPENSATIONS - The big 3 argeed (without Germany present) that germany  had to pay fincally for the damage done in the war although there ecomeny was in tatters and its people were starving                                                                                   3) LAND - Germany's overseas empire was completey removed, and 10 percent of ot european land went inculded 12.5% of its population, 16% of its cornfeilds, almost 50% of its steel and iron industry which was dreadful for a country whoses ecomeny was ruined and had to pay its loans and repartions for the war. On top of ths they had to pay for there own damages they faced due to the war.                                                                                 4) DEMILARISATION - (pride) the army is limited to 100.000 men - non-constribution. no amored vehciles, submarines or air crafts. maxium of 6 battleships and Rhineland (boarder to france) completely demilatrised. This was not enough for a country of this size.                5) LON - League of nations set up.

Popagada lead  to german citizens believing there was only a cease fire in place and they did not lose the war.

The treaty created three brand new countries (Czechslovakia, Poland and Yugoslavia) These states were meant to be economically and poltically stable as that was what Europe didn't have and needed.

Czechslovakia

A key country for the palns of the western allies. Mostly carved out of the old austrain Empire plus land taken from Germany. The allies insured it contained industrail areas from the pervous empires. Czechslovakia also comtained alot of differnt nationalities.

Poland

Was very importa. in 1600 but got swalloed up by Russia, Austria and Geramny by the late 1700. The big 3 were keen to reinstate it to get it to work as a watch dog on germany and be barrier agasint the growing commuism in Russia. Treaties put Poland together as an independent country, its western frontiers settled with germany during the ToV. Eastern frontiers harder to put in place (evenually settled in 1921 with help from britsh dipolmat Lord Curzon - temporary settled at Curzon line). Poland had no natural forntier (rivers, mountains 

ect.) making it vunarable to attacks. 30% of population weren't even Polish! In order for poland to have access to the sea it is given a ***** of land (German) around the city of Danzig. Later nicknamed the Polish Corridor, its lost greatly upset Germany and was resented bitterly.

Yugoslavia

this was the most complicated of the new states created at ToV. Formed by merging Serbia with a number of its neighbours, most of whomed where a part of the Hungary-Austria Empire BWW1. IN a form, it shows Wilson's desire of self-determination in action as many people there wanted to part from there pervous empire. Yogoslavia was very large and powerful.
