The peace treaties after the first world war: were they fair?

You know it makes sense!!!!

Aaaaahhhhh

Lesson objectives:

• To have a clear understanding of the Paris Peace Conference.

• To consider the mood and public opinion in 1919.

Examine the range of statements and then decide which apply to which country in 1919. Draw a line to like the statement that best fits the country.

Britain

France.

USA

Germany.

A former world power whose empire was crumbling.

A late comer to the war who wanted to avoid being drawn into another European conflict.

A country that had never actually surrendered or been forced off enemy soil.

A country that presented ideas for the peaceful coexistence of states to prevent further major conflict.

A country wanting to remain a global power but reliant on another country for financial backing.

A country keen to seek revenge against those that had been aggressive towards it.

A nation suffering from bankruptcy and with a starving population.

A country that had seen much of its land destroyed by war and whose economy had been devastated.

– Discussion points.• Germany had asked for cease fire. The German army was exhausted and

British naval blockades were stopping food and resources getting to Germany – slowly the German population was starving to death.

• Germany did not surrender and the German army was still massed on French soil.

• Germany was simply in a position whereby she couldn’t carry on fighting but she hadn’t been defeated.

• The peace conference decided what was to happen – it lasted 12 months and Germany wasn’t invited. (non of the losing countries were asked to attend).

• Do you think Germany was ever going to get a fair outcome? Think about this point and try to come up with a reason for your answer.

• If Germany had invaded France and most of the fighting had taken place in France how do you think French would have felt towards the Germans in 1919?
