The document provides an overview of World War 1 and its aftermath, including:
1) World War 1 led to the establishment of the League of Nations in 1920 and a period of liberalism as countries sought ways to manage the global future after the war.
2) The Treaty of Versailles in 1919 ended World War 1 but its harsh terms on Germany contributed to causes of World War 2, including the rise of dictators in Europe.
