Treaty of Versailles homework. pictures no work

 What is the ‘Treaty of Versailles’?

The Treaty of Versailles was a significant peace treaty that brought World War I to an end. It was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles located in France. This was exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which led to the WWI.

         The peace treaty had some penalties and extra laws added due to WWI. Here are 3 main ones:

    For German, it imposed harsh penalties on Germany, the country that was seen as the main aggressor in the war. These penalties included substantial territorial losses, military restrictions, and heavy reparations payments. Germany lost territories in Europe and all of its overseas colonies, and its army was limited to 100,000 men with no submarines or aircraft.

    There were also new Nation States. The treaty led to the redrawing of the map of Europe. Several new countries were created, such as Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia, while others, like the Baltic states, gained independence.

There was another thing called League of Nations. It’s basically an international organization aimed at maintaining peace and preventing future wars. While the League of Nations was a precursor to the United Nations, it still failed to prevent the outbreak of World War II.

It was also founded on 10 January 1920 by the Paris Peace Conference that ended the First World War.

According to War and Peace by Our world in Data, since 1800, more than 37 million people worldwide have died while actively fighting in wars ( War and Peace - Our World in Data ). What's worse is that according to the United Nations, 90% of war time casualties are civilians! ( https://press.un.org/en/2022/sc14904.doc.htm ) During World war 2, over 38 million innocent people have died! Wars only bring pain and suffering and no one should go through it especially in the 21st century. We as humans have been fighting each other for wealth, power and land but also because of hatred and revenge for each other. War will also bring out the worst sides of humanity causing us to commit heinous acts like rape, racism, and rampage upon innocent people. War is not good and we can all agree with that. That is why most of us are against war and that we should live in peace and har...
