20. Jahrhundert: 1914-1945 | Versailler Vertrag
The Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations
"It is the principle of justice to all peoples and nationalities," American President Woodrow Wilson states in his Fourteen Points Programme which is supposed to ensure an amicable peace in Europe. But the rifts are too deep. The "disgrace of Versailles" humiliates the Germans. They have to accept harsh peace terms. The country loses large parts of its territory and has to pay high reparations, the Rhineland is occupied. In addition, the treaty assigns sole war guilt to the German Reich. Later, however, with the Treaty of Locarno and Germany’s admission to the League of Nations, there are also first signs of understanding.
