nowadays, the treaty of versailles, and not the treaty of versailles, but the peacemakers of 1919 and920 are usually cit siriticized for the problems in the middle east and persian gulf today. and that there's a huge amount of literature saying the problems in iraq, for example, and in syria today, go back to the first world war. >> yeah. >> would you be kind enough to sort of elaborate upon that and tell us what you think? >> well, i tend to think that events in the past cast a shadow, but you can't look at the event and then subtract everything that happens in between. so, you know, the argument just to talk about europe for a second, that the treaty of versailles led directly to 1939. my question is, what was everyone doing for 20 years? other things are happening. and in the middle east, it certainly is true that the settlement made in the middle east enraged a lot of opinion. mostly in egypt where there was a deeply-rooted nationalist movement. but otherwise it was mostly elite movement. but there was a sense among the arabs that they had been promised independent arab states and

the loss of nationalism, the humiliation of world war i and versailles. the economy.hese are the problems affecting people every day. the punchline in every killer speech is it is because of the jews. people getting caught up in that pageantry -- colors, designs, propaganda. it was an incredible feat of marketing a war. i want to change our focus for a little. many textbooks, and i saw this with my daughter in school, stress social movements over leadership. the russians learned disastrously that by not having any specific leaders in the military, they were getting decimated by germany. one leader argued for putting back officers and leaders and the russians came together. churchill, for example, i understand it is not taught in british schools now. paul, you are in a perfect position to comment. our interpretation is that it is leaders and people. it is both. you cannot have one without the other. what do you run into with this? paul reid: i'm an unapologetic great man theory of history historian. and so, to not teach churchill or stalin or roosevelt or lincoln or ge

todayians still write about the treaty that ended world war i, the treaty of versailles and the punitive peace that that imposed on the german people. scholarship differs, historiography is changing. it was a treaty full of reparations. generations of germans had to pay back those they had used force against. costs ofld war ii, the that heavy burden on future generations was fully discussed when it came time to think about reparations for san francisco. i think today, we are looking at this other question of history. now, we don't have a treaty that is full of reparations for the german and japan people. but we still have this sentiment of unfinished business. again, bilateral treaties, japan and south korea, japan and china, bilateral treaties for those who were not at the san francisco treaty table. but the basic understanding was that japan would be welcomed back into the postwar peace without punishment. here, we still sit today talking about apologies. i don't want to say that that is the answer to the question, and i know the japanese government gets a lot of criticism, some of it
