Abstract

This essay deals with the treaty of Versailles and its serious consequences. It argues due to the drawbacks of the treaty, the once-hoped? perpetual peace turned into Carthaginian peace. In particular, it lays out the impacts of the treaty through analyzing different articles of the treaty and related documents. It holds that the treaty just made a weak Carthaginian peace. The serious reparation problems, lack of reliable collective security mechanism and America economic prosperity deteriorated the German development and international relationship. Both finally paved the way to the second world war.
