German Disarmament After World War I examines the Allied
disarmament of Germany and the challenges that such an enormous
task presented to international efforts in enforcing the Treaty of
Versailles. In the twenty-first century, disarmament remains a
critical issue for the International community. This new book
focuses on three key areas and lessons of Allied disarmament
operations from 1920-31: the role and experience of international
arms inspectors working amidst an embittered German populace the
ramifications of the divergent disarmament priorities of the
leaders of the disarmament coalition the effectiveness of united
Allied policies backed by sanctions. These major issues are
examined within the overall context of the assessment of Allied
disarmament operations in Germany. While some historians perceive
German disarmament as a failure, this book argues that arms
inspectors successfully destroyed Germany's ability to pose a
military threat to European security. This new study shows how the
destructive legacy of war convinced the victorious nations,
especially Britain and France, of the importance in minimizing
German military strength. French post-war security concerns,
however, were often faced with the unwillingness of Britain to
enforce the totality of the military articles of the treaty. German
obstruction also influenced Allied disarmament policies. German
Disarmament After World War I examines the initial effectiveness of
Allied disarmament efforts in Germany and explains how they
ultimately disappeared through diverging conceptions of a post-war
world. This book will be of great interest to all students of
disarmament, the interwar period and of military history, modern
European history and security studies.
