Destructiveness of The Treaty of Versailles

The idea and practice that war losers should be severely punished to prevent future relapse existed from ancient times. After all, due to conflict between countries, this is just a logical expansion, "revenge seeking" revenge doctrine. When the Greeks retaliated against Paris to steal Helen, they burned Troy on the ground. When the Romans killed Cartago in the Punjab War, they advanced one step further - destroy the city and spread salt in the city.

World War I was called "a war that ended all wars" as it caused enormous massacre and destruction. Unfortunately, the Peace Treaty, which officially ended the conflict - the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, forced punitive provision against Germany, laying the foundation for World War II by impairing the stability of Europe

On June 28, 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed at the Versailles Palace in the suburbs of Paris in France. This treaty is one of several treaties that officially terminated the five-year conflict known as the First World War. The Treaty of Versailles outlines the terms of peace between Germany and the victorious allies led by the United States of America, France and the United States. Kingdom The other central government (remarkably, Austria - Hungarian empire) has a treaty different from that of the allies. The Treaty of Versailles is one of the closest free-day treaties in history. The so-called "war crime" clause of the treaty forced Germany and other central authorities to take on all responsibilities of the First World War. This means the loss of the territory, the reduction of the military, and the compensation for allies.

After the Treaty of Versailles, this treaty was signed with Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire. However, after the negotiations between the treaty and the Ottoman Empire, the final peace treaty between the allies and the countries that just became the Republic of Turkey was not signed in Lausanne until July 24, 1923. There was also a war memorial dating back to the end of the war when the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919, but on the contrary most of the anniversary of the end of the war concentrated on 11 November 1918. Regarding the ceasefire legally, the formal peace treaty was signed to the end, and the "Lausanne treaty" was signed. According to that condition, the ally left Constantinople on August 23, 1923.
