| | Treaty of Versailles |
 | | In summary, The Treaty of Versailles was regarded as only temporary and contained some of the most severe terms that one civilized nation has ever imposed on another. | | | The first section was the Constitution of the League of Nations, which had a provision made for the Permanent Court of International Justice (Greenfield). | | | So, the Germans were told that they had fifteen days to file written objections to the terms of the treaty. |

| | Although there were many agreements to the treaty, one of the more important and recognized agreements required that Germany accept full responsibility for causing the war and, under the terms of articles 231-247, make reparations to certain members of the Allies. | | | Secret treaties were also to be discouraged, and Britain and France greeted a reduction in armaments by all nations with disapproval. | | | However, the Lausanne agreement was contingent upon the United States agreeing to also defer payment of the war debt owed them by the Western European governments. |

| | The Treaty of Versailles and its Consequences |
| | Despite Germany’s claim that the terms of the treaty were far too harsh, most historians today agree that the terms, in fact were “relatively lenient.” | | | Henig argues that “this clause, known as the ‘war-guilt’ clause, more than any other in the entire Treaty of Versailles, was to cause lasting resentment in Germany.” | | | The final telegraphed communication from the German National Assembly to the Allies in Versailles stated, “The government of the German Republic in no wise abandons its conviction that these conditions of peace represent injustice without example.” |
