    On the 28th on June 1914, the world descended into chaos, forced into all-out war through hasty alliances and aggressive manoeuvres. 5 years and 37 million casualties later, a truce was made. The 28th of January in 1919 saw the Palace of Versailles play host to a meeting of the world’s superpowers. Woodrow Wilson of the United States, Lloyd George of the United Kingdom, and Georges Clemenceau of France were all present to re-draw the map of the world, introducing a highly controversial treaty that protected their interests, but pointed all blame to the ‘Triple Alliance,’ consisting of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy.…

    In 1919, President Wilson joined delegates of Italy, France, England, and Japan in the Palace of Versailles to negotiate peace. When the conference was adjourned, the Treaty of Versailles had been created. However, the treaty was killed by Congress.

    A lot of effort has been devoted to analyzing the protracted bloody wars of the 20th Century when mass killings were “perpetrated by and against a wide range of nations, cultures, forms of government, ethnic and religious groups” (Mingst and Snyder 2008, 368) with brazen zeal to wipe out entire races for power and control. For most disposed people of the world – the ‘bottom billion’ as Collier refers to them, unchecked power takes away the freedom of the other and replaces it with terror and the primitive fear of being controlled. It is estimated that during the 20th Century alone, between 60 million to 150 million people have died in episodes of mass killings while international and civil wars accounts for about 34 million deaths (Mingst and Snyder 2008, 368).…

    Though the opposition to the Treaty by Congress may have had some part in its failure, Wilson’s inflexibility and bullheadedness on his views and ideas toward the Treaty of Versailles was the main factor in its downfall. Wilson did everything in his power to convince the people of the United States that the Treaty of Versailles should be approved by the Senate. Wilson's strong feelings toward the Treaty made it difficult, even impossible, to convert his thoughts of it to anything other than what they already are. He felt he had already compromised enough, letting France, Great Britain, and Italy scrap most of his 14 Points; he wasn't about to let his own country throw out the one thing he still had: the League of Nations.…

    The Versailles Treaty was commissioned by Great Britain, France, and a defeated Germany. Together they hoped the treaty would stabilize Europe and guarantee another world war would never happen again. However, just over two decades later, once again war engulfed Europe. So, is it logical that the question be asked; how did the Versailles Treaty help cause World War II?

    World War I, known as the Great War, was the first total war between the European nations. Many soldiers had died in the terrible conditions of the trenches. Not only were countless lives lost in the war, but land, especially in France and Belgium, were also destroyed. There were also many controversies when the Great War finally ended. Many leaders had different and conflicting opinions on how the treaty was going to be put together. Some, like Clemenceau and Lloyd George of Britain, wanted the Treaty of Versailles to punish and blame Germany for starting the war. Others, like Woodrow Wilson of the US, felt that laying blame would not lead to peace. The United States, France, and Britain were called the "Big Three," since they dominated in…
