=//__**Notes Part 1**__//= =Making Peace= -Politicians signed a peace treaty with Germany. -The politicians have come from all over the world, and their aim was to bring an end to the Great War of 1914-18, and make sure that there will never again be a world-wide war.

1. Great Suffering...
-When nations fight wars, they usually expect to win. -Every nation which fought in the Great War of 1914-18 suffered greatly. -The victorious Allies naturally expected to gain a great deal while the defeated Central Powers could only hope for mercy.

France
-The worst fighting took in France. -In France, 23,000 factories was built for battle but 5,600 kilometer of railway line and 48,000 kilometer was wrecked and 1,4000,000 French soldiers were killed and 2,500,000 wounded in fighting.

Belgium
-The Great War started in Belgium when the German armies swept through it for their attack on France. -Belgium was occupied by the German for two years, took machinery and food and the town was ruined by war.

Britain
-The British suffered less than either the French or the Belgians, for no part of their country was ever occupied by the enemy. -In Britain, 750,000 British soldiers was died and 1,500,000 was wounded.

Italy
-Italy joined the war in 1915 to get the Austrian land but most of the land was devastated.

Russia
-Russia surrendered during the World War 1. -One-third of all Russians found themselves under German rule.

The United States
-The USA suffered least of all the countries involved in the war. -But US had the least damage from the war.

Germany
-In Germany, revolution caused chaos in the land. -WIth the food ships unable to reach their ports, millions of Germans faced starvation.

The suffering of war
-Austria-Hungary lost 1,200,000 men and Turkish Empire 325,000 and Bulgaria lost 100,000. -By the end of 1918, the peoples of the world had suffered greatly. -The leaders of the victorious nations were determined that such a war must never happen again. -They must make treaties with the defeated countries to ensure a lasting peace. =2. Great Expectations...=

The Paris Peace Conference
-After the damage of World War one leaders wanted to discuss the peace, in Paris it was the biggest conference ever held in the history. -Politicians from 32 nations have gathered in expectations, however three of them took the control of the talk. -**Clemenceau:** Firstly, Germany must pay for the damage done to France in the war, 200,000,000,000 gold francs. Second, German can never attack France means, France is taking the industry, land and money. -**Woodrow Wilson**: //There could not be any fair peace treaty.// 1. There must be more secret agreement between countries. 2. Army should be reduced to their weapons. 3. People living under other countries could form their own land 4. People should follow the new organization, and suggested create a League of Nation.
 * David Lloyd George** agreed with many of Wilson's Fourteen Points.

Making the peace
-Italian Politician demanded a Italian living under Austria should be re united. -The politicians spent the first two months of the Conference setting up the League of Nations which Woodrow Wilson wanted. -The Peace Conference rapidly became a free-for-all in which the victors competed with each other to carve up the lands of the defeated powers. -Russia wan't allowed to join the treaty. =3. Germany Re-Made The Treaty of Versailles= -On June 1919, the politicians left Paris and went by train to Versailles, 16 kilometers away. -League of Nation was formed and it's followed by Covenant of the League of Nation. -The Treaty of Versailles had dealt with Germany and it was very long, with over 200 pages and 400 separate sections. -Germans began an uproar as they deemed the treaty too harsh and called it a Diktat - a dictated peace. =4. Europe Re-Shaped: The other Paris Peace Treaties= -The treaty-makers at the Paris Conference had to deal not only with Germany but also with her defeated partners-the Empire of Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Turkish Empire.

Austria-Hungary
-They were dealt with by two treaties signed at Saint Germain and Trianon, two royal palaces near Paris.

Bulgaria
-They were dealt with in much the same way. -The Treaty of Neuilly gave away land to her neighbors and made her pay reparations as well as reduce her armed forces.

Russia
-They also had important effects on other countries. -They regained some land that was taken by Germany but some of the land was taken to create new nations.

Poland
-Poland now has the "Polish Corridor", which gave the country free access to ports on the Baltic Sea. -Poland gained their independence from other countries who conquered their land.

The Turkish Empire
-The treaty had took nearly all Turkey's land in Europe and the Turkish Straits were put under the League of Nations. -Arab land in the Middle east were given by French and British, League of Nation looked if they govern the land properly. =5. The League of Nations= -All five of the Paris Peace Treaties began in the same way, by describing a new organization for keeping peace in the world- the League of Nations.

The organization of the League of Nations
-The **convenant of the League of Nations** was about how peace was to be kept. -The Mandates Commission watches for the German and Turkish colonies that were under temporary rule of Britain and France. -The Secretariat was setup to deal with paperwork, communications, and publicity. -Much of the work of the League was done by commissions.

Problems for the League of Nations
-The League of Nations looked most impressive on paper but, right from the start of its life, it was actually rather weak. -The USA refused to join. -Many people were very enthusiastic about the League in its early days and, as we shall see, it was able to do a lot of useful work in the 1920s. =Summary:= Finally, the war ended in 1918. But this war left huge damage in other countries who also took part of World War 1. In this Part 1 of the book, Germany rejected the Treaty of Versailles when presented to them but was forced to sign anyways. Countries who fought against the allied forces suffered similar punishment as Germany. Finally, to keep the world peace, League of Nation was formed at last. =Questions:= 1.
