All these events were triggered by the end decree of the Paris peace conference and would initiate or settle future conflicts. The Paris peace conference ventured the future

What impact did these decisions have on European politics in the 1920s? Woodrow Wilson once quoted British author H. G. Wells, deeming World War I “the war to end war.” Stated before the formation of the Treaty of Versailles, this statement could have been plausible; however, following the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, the improbable nature of Wilson’s
