The League of Nations, and The Paris Peace Conference and The Treaty of Versailles had many comparisons and contrasts. In addition, The League of Nations, and The Treaty of Versailles were both made after World War I to be sure that another war would not happen in the future; both of these solutions were mobilized when our world was oppressed, but many believe that both of them have similarities and differences. To, conclude, both bureaucracies (The League of Nations, and The Paris Peace Conference and The Treaty of Versailles) had similar details; the countries involved, the leaders involved, but they had the same reasons for making agreements for peace. In addition, both had different details; the countries that were and were not involved, the other leaders involved, and the way they made the contracts.
To begin, The League of Nations, and The Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles were equivalent in copious procedures. First of all, approximately two of the countries that participated in the solutions to end wars incorporated Italy and France. Similar leaders, however, included President, or

Such as, what they both accurately mean; meaning, The League of Nations is a league, and The Paris Peace… is a treaty. A league is a diminutive group of people working together to benefit a cause or charity, but a treaty is an agreement including different countries that has rules of the mutual relationship; most times the rules were ingenious. Equally important, both of the treaty and the league involved different countries; all except for two were the same which makes a big discrepancy because of all the countries that were involved. Similarly, they(The League of Nations and The Paris Peace…)both have, except for two, different world leaders that participated in the events. There are multiple other differences, and similarities, but might just be the most
The League of Nations was established in 1919 after the deadly and devastating conflict of World War I. The nations of the world needed a way to rebuild and regain trust in one another after this worldwide atrocity. President Woodrow Wilson believed that an international peacekeeping organization, such as the League of Nations, could achieve this monumental goal. President Wilson was convinced that the League could prevent another wWorld wWar, preserve peace, and promote total disarmament among nations. Wilson went to the Treaty of Versailles negotiations with a Fourteen Point Plan for peace, but he sacrificed almost all of his plans so that the League of Nations could be established. This organization, however, would never live up to the President’s dreams for its success. Despite Woodrow Wilson’s support for the League of Nations, it failed as a peace keeping organization because the United States did not participate, its decision making process was ineffective, and it lacked an armed force to impose its decisions.
There were many different interpretations and perspectives of the origins of World War II. Some underlying factors consisted of the failure of the peace without victory speech made by Woodrow Wilson, the Treaty of Versailles where negotiations were made by George Clemenceau, Woodrow Wilson and David Lloyd George, the League of Nations which was founded after the Paris Peace conference and the big four. Due to these factors Germany dealt with major impacts, limitations and economic consequences. The treaty of Versailles and peace-making decisions paved the way to WWII by leaving Germany isolated and betrayed. After World War I, the treaty of Versailles and League of Nations were made as an attempt to create peace which failed.
France and Britain made Germany sign The Versailles Peace Treaty but once Hitler became the leader of Germany, he wanted to change everything in Germany and make it powerful like it was once before. The League of Nations came into being after the end of World War One. The League of Nation’s task was simple to ensure that war never broke out again but eventually the League of Nations failed. As the League of Nations crumbled, politicians turned to a new way to keep the peace appeasement. This was the policy of giving Hitler what he wanted to stop him from going to war. It was based on the idea that what Hitler wanted was reasonable and, when his reasonable demands had been satisfied, he would stop. There were many reasons why Chamberlin appeased Hitler. A few of them
WWI and the Versailles Treaty had only a marginal (limited) relationship to the world Depression of the 1930s
Henry Cabot Lodge’s speech (Document B) expresses a more similar message to the political cartoon (Document C) because both sources oppose the League of Nations. The League of Nations was introduced in the Treaty of Versailles. This League provided a place for countries to meet, settle disputes peacefully, and punish any nation that broke the peace. At the time the league was introduced, there started to be a heated debate to weather the United States should be involved. Henry Cabot Lodge’s speech (Document B) has a similar message to the political cartoon because both of these sources prove that the League of NAtions is harmful or has a negative effect to the United States.
On January 22, 1917, Woodrow Wilson addressed the United States Senate appealing for a settlement of conflict for ‘peace without victors’. Unfortunately the Treaty of Versailles was signed by participating nations and could not end the hostilities that terrorized to destroy European Civilization. The Treaty of Versailles is one of the most important social and physical agreement or disagreements that help shape the European 20th century. The treaty was very important because it violated Wilson’s ideals. The Treaty of Versailles was the official end of the World War I and was ultimately the main reason that led to World War II.
At the ending of World War 1, there was the Treaty of Versailles that was followed by The League of Nations. The League of Nations called for providing a place for countries to meet, settle disputes peacefully, and punish any nation that broke the peace. The League of Nations was mainly favored by Woodrow Wilson. Since Wilson always wanted peace for the United States and no war, he favored this organization. Many senators opposed this idea.
The Treaty of Versaille and the Congress of Vienna are major treaties that in their own way, played major parts in world history. The Congress of Vienna was created post Napoleon Era to fix the damages that France created during that time period. Nearly 100 years later, the Treaty of Versaille officially ended the first World War between Germany and the rest of the leaders of Europe including England, France, and the United States. Being from different periods of time, both agreements settled an unbalance of power and created systems to rebuild Europe into a better form. A difference between the two can be seen as the Congress of Vienna was to rebuild while the purpose for the Treaty of Versailles was to end the war and hold Germany responsible for what they did. Although the Treaty of Versaille and the Congress of Vienna share some common similarities and differences including the equality of land distribution and balance of powers, the Congress of Vienna and the Treaty of Versaille are more similar than different because, “The Vienna Settlement of 1815 has been ranked with the Peace of Westphalia (1648), the Peace of Utrecht (1713), and the Peace of Paris (1919) as one of the four most significant international agreements in the history of modern Europe”(Concert of Europe 1).
World War I and World War II should not be considered one event and brought together to be known as the Great War. Though the two wars are vaguely linked, their differences outweigh the similarities between them so they can be known as separate events. From alliances to warfare, everything was different. The only similarity between the two is that the Treaty of Versaille ended World War I and started World War II.
The Treaty of Versailles and Congress of Vienna are two vastly different peace treaties, signed one hundred years apart; yet, have the same underlying goal. Of course history has proven that one was significantly more successful than the other in regard to diplomacy.
World War II is something of a continuation of World War I, as unresolved issues showed their heads once more, in addition to the Treaty of Versailles being broken. World War I included Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and the United States, against Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria. Similarly, World War 2 included Britain, France, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India, China, and the United States against Germany, Italy, and Japan. The two wars have many countries in common, among many other similarities. The Treaty of Versailles was one of peace what was instated at the end of World War I. Signed on 28 Junie 1919, the treaty required that Germany relinquished Belgium, Czechoslovakia, and Poland.
Together with the Treaty of Versailles, the League of Nations was established, with the aims of “disarmament,; preventing war through collective security,; settling disputes
In this essay, I am going to look at the successes and failures of the League of Nations (LofN) in its struggle for peace throughout the 1920’s. The LofN was the ‘brain child’ of American president Woodrow Wilson. The four other main powers (Britain, France, Japan and Italy) joined along with approximately 60 other countries from around the world. The U.S.A then abandoned its ‘child’ as to social and economic unrest led to a more isolationist foreign policy. Yet the other four main countries continued to support the LofN and formed the council, consisting to the ‘most powerful countries’. The LofN was set up to enforce peace in Europe and the world. It created various
The Successes and Failures of the Treaty of Versailles in Addressing the Causes of Conflict and Restoring Peace and Normality
"The League of Nations was doomed To failure from the start" Adam Jenner Many may believe that the League of Nations was doomed to failure as soon as the doors of their Geneva headquarters were opened; many may say that it was built on unstable foundations; that the very idea of it was a grave misjudgment by the powers that were. Indeed it is true that the League of Nations, when it was set up was marred with many fundamental flaws. The League of Nations was formed after the end of the First World War. It was an idea that President Wilson introduced as an international police force to maintain peace and to ensure the devastating atrocities like the First World War ever happening again. The principle mission of the League of Nations was to maintain World Peace. Their failure as the international peacekeeping organization to maintain world peace brought the outbreak of Second World War. Their failure in policing and preventing peace in settling disputes throughout Europe, erupted into the most devastating war ever. Through my analysis of the failures of the League of Nations to maintain world peace, my arguments will demonstrate the understandings of the reasons and events that created the most devastating environment for the Second World War.
