Treaty was fair
Reasons why the Treaty was fair and just
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Double-standard | Germany imposed harsh treaties on the French in 1871 and to Russia in 1918, she had been cruel to other countries thus it is only right to let G. experience the same level of harshness. |
Self-independence and little taken | Treaty removed only limited amounts of territory; whilst, in places like Alsace Lorraine and the area in the Polish corridor, most people consider themselves of another race. |
Ignorance | G. only took the “14 points” seriously in the end when they were losing and whilst winning, they were busy imposing a harsh peace treaty with the Russians in 1918. |
Strong Leaders still there | army was reduced heavily but the leaders from the past were still there, allowing G. to recover and rebuild forces quickly |
Industrial strength | Most were not taken, allowing G. to recover |
Invasion of France | in1871 and in 1914 |
Belgium | invaded a neutral country, which had not business with the war whatsoever. |
