The Treaty of Versailles imposed terms on Germany after World War 1. It was signed on June 28, 1919 at Versailles Palace by Germany and the Allied powers. The key terms included Germany taking responsibility for starting the war, losing territory, demilitarization, and paying reparations. However, the treaty failed to achieve lasting peace and set the stage for World War 2 by isolating and punishing Germany severely.

The Treaty of Versailles was the most important of the peace treaties that brought World War I to an end. The Treaty ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers. It was signed on 28 June 1919 in Versailles, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The other Central Powers on the German side of World War I signed separate treaties. Although the armistice, signed on 11 November 1918, ended the actual fighting, it took six months of Allied negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty. The treaty was registered by the Secretariat of the League of Nations on 21 October 1919.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

(Saint Germain with Austria, Trianon with Hungary, Sevres with
Turkey, Neuilly with Bulgaria).
It failed to make peace!
4. The three most important politicians
David Lloyd George (Great Britain):
Public support :"Make Germany Pay”.
Privately: Germany should be treated in such a way that left
her as a barrier to resist the spread of communism in Russia.
Georges Clemenceau (France): Destroy Germany /
Worried about neighborhood / Obtained Anglo-
American support in case of a new German aggression
Woodrow Wilson (America):
Proposed his Fourteen Points before the end of the war
Reconciliation not revenge.
Leave Europe to its own devices.
Germany should be punished

A League of Nations was set up to keep world peace. Many achievements, most
important: created the habit of consultation and discussion between governments.

Guarantee:
The Rhineland and bridgeheads east of the Rhine – occupied by Allied
troops – 15 years
Reactions:
Britain: French policy was greedy and vindictive
France: Clemenceau was voted out in 1920
USA: Wilson claimed that “at last the world knows America as the
savior of the world” – had a stroke
Germany: condemned the treaty, Jews were seen as disloyal, week
economy
8. Territorial Arrangements

France
- Czechoslovakia and Poland

Hungarian territories

independent

(Transylvania)
- Baltic Republics (Estonia,
Latvia, Lithuania, Finland)
became independent

9. THE TREATY WAS A FAILURE
Isolated Germany and communist Russia.
Far from restore peace, it paved the way for WWII.
The problems that arose from the treaty improved relations between Germany and the
other European Powers
1935 – Adolf Hitler – introduced compulsory military conscripton and rebuilt the armed
forces
1936 – Germany reoccupied the demilitarized zone in the Rhineland
1938 – Germany annexed Austria in the Anschluss (union of Austria and Nazi Germany)
10. 1919 peace settlement was the
product of national and
imperial rivalries rather than
of a yearning for a more
harmonious world
