Do Now:
- Do you think WWI was avoidable?
- What were the results of WWI?
Treaty of Versailles
1) Germany (who’s delegates were not allowed to participate in the peace conference) was forced to accept blame for the war and to pay reparations to the allies.
2) Austria-Hungry and the Ottoman Empire were broken up and new nations based upon popular sovereignty were created in Eastern Europe.
3) A League of Nations was created to settle future disputes between nations.
4) The Treaty does not resolve the causes of the War, and plants the seeds that lead to World War II.
