I think you should show the terms one by one, to see if the terms are peace-keeping in nature.Grade: E Mr. Fung (Fok),I am Ip Hon Ying from Form 3A. I am now representing my group to write this letter

4、 (do this assignment) to you as to report the assignment about whether the Treaty of Versailles was peace-keeping in nature.As (In) my opinion, we could find that this treaty cannot keep world peace for long in many areas. For example, the victorious states tried to force Germany to accept the war-g

5、uilt clause and reduce its army to 10,000 men. It was obvious that these could weaken the force of Germany but also increased its enmity against the Allies and, it was possible that these had speeded up the causing (outbreak)of the World War II.On the other hand, Germany was forced to pay a huge ind

6、emnity, give up all her colonies and some of her land and return Alsace-Lorraine to France at the same time. As we know, the The Allies were trying to recover from the war and take revenge by getting those indemnity and colonies, however it made the problem worse. This could not fix their economic p

7、roblems but cripple German economy. Its result was that Germany had lost all its important economic places and was unable to pay the indemnity. All countries were facing serious problem and their economy had been completely broken down.As a result, the Treaty of Versailles was unable to keep peace a

8、mong the countries nor fixing their economic problem, but deepen the hatred between the countries and help setting off the World War II.Ip Hon Ying (3A)Comment to Ip Hon Ying and Group MembersThis assignment is quite good. However, you should also mention the War Guilt Clause, which caused the great

9、est humiliation to Germany, that made her determined to take revenge.Grade: B+ Is the Treaty of Versilles a peace-keeping treaty?No, we dont think so. The treaty of Versailles asked (required) Germany to pay a huge indemnity, as Germany did not have any more (enough) money for trading, this affected

10、 other countries and led to the weak of weakened the economy of the world. After the Franco-Prussian War, Alsace-Lorraine was ruled under from France ceded to Germany. As now Germany was asked to return it to France and accept the war-guilt clause, it is a big humiliation and this lead led Germany t

11、o have the desire in of taking revenge of the German. We agreed that German had made a wrong choice decision of that to starting the war, but it is non-morality not right of them to ask Germany to take the whole bear all the responsibility of the war. German must not like this and they would do some

12、thing to ask for fair. This may lead to another war. So how can this treaty be a peace-keeping treaty? It is not wise of Britain, USA and France to make this treaty.By Group 4 of 3AClass no: 2 , 11 , 16 , 19 , 23 , 24 , 27 , 34 , 35 ,37 , 38Comment to Kwok Sze Nga and Group membersThis assignment is

13、 pretty good. However, you may divide your answer into a number of paragraphs. I would suggest you should include aone point in one paragraph.Grade: CWas the Treaty of Versailles peace-keeping in nature?In 1914, the First World War broken (broke) out between the Central Powers and the Allies. In 191

14、7, one of the Central Powers, Germany, adopted Unrestricted Submarine Warfare. She attacked the ship of the U.S. trading (sailing) to Britain. This made the U.S. very angry. With the help of the U.S., the Allies defeated the big brother of the Central Power, Germany. In 1919, the Central Powers and

15、the Allies held a meeting in Paris after the First World War, which was called The Paris Peace Conference, which This was used to solve the problems brought by the war. In order to keep peace among Europe; the European countries, the Allies forced Germany to sign a peace treaty called The Treaty of

16、Versailles in 28 June 1919. But was the Treaty of Versailles peacekeeping in nature? After our discussion, we believed that it wasnt. Firstly, by this treaty, Germany had to reduce its army to 100,000 men. Although the number of soldiers had been reduced, this didnt mean that the strength of the Ger

17、man army had also been reduced. It was because the training of Germany was good at that time. Moreover, this item was unfair to Germany, so she attempted to take revenge.Secondly, Germany had to pay a huge indemnity. Just in case, Germany wanted to pay the huge indemnity quickly, so she started to p

18、rint the banknote. The rising number of banknote led to the devaluation of the currency and the inflation in Germany. Germans should spend much money to buy things than before. They lived in a harsher life, so they attempted to fight back. (Good point!)Thirdly, Germany had to give up all her colonie

19、s and some of her land. This was a sense of humiliation of Germany. Also, it ensured Germany to take revenge against the Allies, in order to get back her land.Another item was that, Germany had to accept the war-guilt clause. We believed that this was the harshest term in the treaty. It was because

20、many countries involved in the First World War, not just Germany. Although Germany led to the outbreak of the First World War, she shouldnt afford all the faults. The signing of the war-guilt clause insulted Germany. She decided to take revenge.Finally, Germany had to return Alsace-Lorraine to Franc

21、e. Originally, Alsace-Lorraine was the territory of France till 1870s.But according to the peace treaty, Germany should gave back Alsace-Lorraine to France, which was an important industrial region of Germany. This worsened the economy of Germany. Germans suffered a lot from this. Pan Germanism rose

22、 up in Germany.In conclusion, we think that the Treaty of Versailles couldnt keep peace in Europe. The Treaty of Versailles only deepened the hate between Germany and other countries. She never forgot the insult and attempted to take revenge. Moreover, many Germans thought that the treaty was unfair

23、, they tried to end the treaty. And this led to the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939S.3A Lo Mans groupIts a very good piece of assignment.

29、the balance of power in Europe. (Do you know why the collapse of the four old empires led to the upset of the balance of power? Also, how did the upset of the balance of power affect the peace in Europe?)- The Economic Problemi.) Because of the huge indemnity paid by Germany, the economic of Germany

30、 suffered a lot of economic problems. Although Germany paid a huge indemnity, the European powers didnt solve the economic problem in their own country, because Germanys economic the well-being of the German economy would affect the whole economic system in Europe.

31、 of the German economy would affect the world economy?)ii.) Because of the economic problems faced by the European powers, they take took some economic reform in their own countries.
