the treaty of versailles was not important.countries paid a it little more than lip service. so, once again, germans began to march. not in the open at first, but on disguised drill fields. , masquerading as patriotic veteran organizations. or as the so-called technical corps, ostensibly formed in case of desperate situations. or in vigilante groups claiming to protect the citizens against communism. or in schools, simply under the name of calisthenics but always , under the supervision of army officers. the old german tradition was on its way back. but to the victorious allies, the german leaders sang a different tune -- peace, friendship, and a piteous cry for help. >> germany's fate is the fate of the world. germany's district is the district of the world. prosperity of individual nations is the prosperity of all. >> i hope one day to come over to america and visit your beautiful country myself. >> in germany, political and economic situation today is extremely difficult. not only have we lost the world fact thatlso the germ

dt asked why then a year later what he called the shame treaty of versailles?ies of defeat? karl schmidt was looking for a scapegoat. he found one. the one the german war leaders had always planned that he should find. karl schmidt never blamed the men who had caused the war. instead, he blamed the men who would sign the peace. the ill-fated german republic meant a bunch of traders that would stab the fatherland in the back. and the general staff, the great landowners, the industrialists, state officials smiled contented. not only did they escape blame themselves, but they had smeared the idea of democracy in germany. it was a blow from which it would never recover. karl schmidt would go back to the old tradition. of the tradition of frederick and bismarck and the kaiser. the tradition of militarism and war. but wasn't the versailles treaty designed to prevent carl schmitt starting another war even if he wanted to? by this treaty the germans began to disband their staff to limit , their army to 100,000 men, to hand over their fleet, to de-militarize the rhinela

there are about 135 articles in the versailles peace treaty.the first 25 or the confidence of the league of nations. woodrow wilson wanted the lead to end the war with germany so they could not be pulled apart. they wanted them intertwined. this is article ten, and it is saying something fundamental. read it for me. let me ask you a question. if ireland rose up against the british empire and the united states signed this with the united states have any commitment? mexternal . it would not. okay. but, i want you to look at this. this was a extremely controversial part, still a couple different ways but the spelling up their sikh remember. this had been an area of china that germany had taken over in 1898. when china -- when germany took it over, if a german murdered-y, only german please offering their touch him. when world war i began, japan was now part of great britain. so japan declared war on germany, then took over the southern peninsula and then at the peace conference woodrow wilson realist for a couple knee reasons he needed japan supp

they wanted to avoid the mistakes that the treaty of versailles had committed. i will talk a bit about what those were. what they really want to do is leave europe in a better foundation and leave it in a better position than woodrow wilson did in the generation of 1919 in paris. they did not know the future of course, but they did know the past. another theme i was interested in in shaping this book and thinking about writing this book, is the way these men of 1945, and they were all men, looked back at 1919, and what they saw and why it mattered to them. my favorite example of this is what happened to harry truman on june 28, 1919, the very day the treaty of versailles was signed in the palace just west of paris. harry truman hopefully was not thinking about international relations very much, because it is the day that he got married. and it is a reminder too that these leaders are people. i wrote in the book and i would stated this, that while one can imagine winston churchill or joseph stalin in 1919, it is hard to believe that this guy thought on june 28, 1

the treaty of versailles analogy is not the only one to talk about. some of the american and british hardliners also talk about the munich analogy. that they need to be very careful that what they do with the soviets is sufficiently strong so that the soviets do not take advantage of the generosity of the west. they do not want to be in a position where soviets come out of the conference too strong. and i will talk a little more about that. anyone could use the dreaded word appeasement, a loaded word in 1945, a word that remains quite loaded. the big question for the united states has to be, what do we think the soviet union wants? what are they? what can we expect them to do? before becoming president of the united states, truman noted he had never even met a russian. the first russian he meets is molotov, the soviet foreign minister, whose nickname is stoneass because of his ability to just sit there silently and with no emotion on his face at all when he did not want to reveal anything he was thinking. he must have been a very difficult person to p
