[Mr Field]

You don't say exactly what you mean, but you can find some excellent information and materials at http://www.johndclar...ty_revision.htm
http://www.johndclar...e_treaties1.htm

This is the best on the Internet.

[Mrs Faithorn]

There are some useful links on this annotated list of links on this 'Attempts to keep the Peace' links page of our main site.

Also see:
The Treaty of Versailles page of the History Learning Site
and this section of Mr Clare's excellent Modern World History site.

I am doing a roleplay with my friends and need some help,i have to show a discussion between president woodrow wilson president george clemeneau and loyd george and have to show them dicussing about there views on germany etc.
any pointers.................
will be greatly appreciated

[Mrs Faithorn]

This sounds like an interesting task (and one that quite a lot of History teachers use )

For this you will need to research what each of your 3 men (The Big Three) aimed to achieve at Versailles and to identify where they were in agreement and where their views differed. The Paris Peace Talks that led to the Treaty of Versailles involved considerable compromises and your role play will need to reflect that.

I suugest you use the Treaty of Versailles section of Mr Clare's site, starting on this page . Not only does he give the necessary information in a straightfoward way, but he also gives links to other useful sites for more research. It is clear what each of these other links is about and you will see them on the right-hand side of each of his pages about the Treaty.

I think this should be enough, but if you have further questions then do post again.

[Mr Field]

As Mrs Faithorn has said, an interesting topic.

However, please do not mark your posts as 'urgent'. It will not help us answer it any quicker. I have now changed the title of your request.

[Mr Field]

Firstly we need to know which war.

Secondly go to http://www.schoolhis...co.uk/revision/ and see what you can find there.

If you still don't know, please post again, but try to be a little more clear.

Treaties of versaille and sevres can you give me a hint what they all had in them i think its war gult but im not sure.

[Mr Field]

OK.

In answer to my question I think you now mean "what are the causes of the Second World War?"

The Treaty of Versailles was the Peace Treaty after World War One. One of the clauses said that Germany had to take complete responsibility for the war (war guilt) and had to pay reparations (payments to the winning nations).

Versailles was a harsh treaty and many historians suggest that it caused immense bitterness and resentment, helping to causes World War II.

Have a look at this page for the 'Causes of World War II':

Your not getting what i mean.

What did all the treaties have in them?
(Bulgaria , Austria , Hungary , Germany)
I think it was war guilt

[Mr Field]

Right. You can hardly blame me for not understanding!

You are now asking "What was the main clause in the WWI peace treaties?"

To put it simply, there wasn't one. The main treaty, the Treaty of Versailles DID have the War guilt clause specifically, but the other treaties that dealt with the other countries did not.

Each country did have to pay reparations, had to disarm and lost territory.

The site I gave you above provides you with excellent information:

Quote

The Treaty of Versailles was the most important treaty of 1919–1920. 

It was the treaty with Germany, and was decided by the Big Three.   It was the Treaty which set up the League of Nations.   Also, the Treaty of Versailles set down the principles of how the defeated countries would be treated:  

they had to pay reparations,
they had to disarm,
they lost land,
self-determination.

Four other treaties were made with the four countries which had helped Germany in the war.   They were written by officials who just followed the principles of the Treaty of Versailles.   They were all named after places in Paris:  

Saint Germain (with Austria),
Neuilly (with Bulgaria),
Trianon (with Hungary) and
Sèvres (with Turkey).

All four countries had to pay reparations, they all had to disarm, and they all lost land.

Well usually each topic we finish we have to do a essay. Well i first essay as from the second week i started Year 10 was `What were the attitudes of the Big three at versailles and who would have been most content with it's outcome? ` Well i understand the first part of the attitued of the Big Three but on the second part i get confused, ` who would have been most content with it's outcome? ` Well at the end The Big Three did not get what they requested as they had to compromise, but im not sure if it right??

Sounds to me as if you do understand this pretty well ......

As you rightly point out, each of the Big Three had to compromise. What you need to do in the second part of your essay is point out how far each of them got what they wanted. Although the question implies that you only need to choose ONE person and to write about that one, in actual fact a really good answer will consider all three (pointing out where he would have been satisfied and where he would not) before coming to an overall conclusion. In the end you do need to say which one you consider had had to compromise least of all.

Make sure you do point out though that NONE of them was entirely content with the outcome.

I hope that helps?
