Alleged Failure of Allies to Carry out Peace Treaties
Extent and Medium
2 electronic resources (99, 5 pages)
Scope and Content
The file is a collection of quotes from newspaper articles, educational material, biographies, speeches and books about laws pertaining to the Versailles treaty, the alleged failure of the allies to carry out the clauses of the treaties and biographies by Emperor Wilhelm II and General Ludendorff. The allies are accused to divide the German people from their leadership. President Wilson's 14 points plan is considered full of empty rhetoric. Hitler claims that not just the German people were betrayed after the First World War but the people of other nations as well. The trust that Germany put into America and its president is claimed to be a self abandonment, unworthy, an error of psychology. The humiliation during the signing in Compiègne by General Foch is discussed as well as the sinking of the German fleet. Each quote lists the title, author or newspaper, publisher and date of publication.
