Antony Lentin

4.9/5 (12863 ratings)

Description:Based on original research and incorporating mush unpublished material, this study considers the Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles from a new perspective. It locates the origins of Appeasement in the dissatisfaction with the Treaty felt among the British Delegation at Paris, in its sense of discrepancy between the liberal ideas held out by Woodrow Wilson and the perceived actuality of a 'Carthaginian Peace'. This disenchantment is discussed against the particular background of Article 231, the notorious 'War-Guilt Clause', whereby Germany was obliged to acknowledge responsibility for the war and the liability for Allied losses.The protracted struggle between Wilson, committed to a 'peace of justice' and Lloyd George, anxious to fulfil - ostensibly at least - his election pledges of November 1918 to 'Make Germany Pay', is examined in detail. Dr. Lentin's portrayal of the principal characters at the Peace Conference and the conflict between them makes this an enjoyable and lively discussion as well as an important contribution to the literature of Versailles.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
