The Versailles Settlement does not enjoy a good reputation: despite
its lofty aim to settle the world's affairs at a stroke, it is
widely considered to have set the world on the path to a second
major conflict within a generation. Woodrow Wilson's controversial
principle of self-determination amplified political complexities in
the Balkans, and the war and its settlement bear significant
responsibility for boundaries and related conflicts in the Middle
East. Furthermore, other objectives of the peacemakers, such as
global disarmament and minority protection, are yet to be realised.
A century on, the settlement still casts a long shadow. This book,
fully revised and updated with new material for the centenary of
the Paris Paris Conferences at Versailles in 1919 sets the
consequences - for good or ill - of the Peace Treaties into their
longer term context and argues that the responsibility for Europe's
continuing interwar instability cannot be wholly attributed to the
peacemakers of 1919-23.
