wars that have killed millions prompted new demands for independence. in april 916 irish republicans in dublin launched an insurrection against british rule. but the uprising was poorly organized and was put down quickly by british troops once again the union jack flew over the irish capital. the australian garion empire a truly multinational stage had ceased to exist by early november 1918. the empire is larger ethnic minorities including czechs slovaks croats and slovenes demanded independence and hopes that america would help them achieve it. u.s. president woodrow wilson sought to create
a jury of peace as part of this effort wilson announced that from now on the peoples of europe should be governed only by their own consent he described self-determination as an imperative principle of action. empires collapse. i people rose up in revolt i. x monarchs fled the last austrian emperor charles the 1st step down from the hapsburg throne he and his wife tito were exiled to madeira in 1921. in 1922 turkey's new parliament expelled the last autumn and sultan messmate the 6 several new states would emerge from the ruins of his empire . but some monarchs were celebrated as here it was. during the war belgium's king albert of the 1st had fought

how did germany react to the armistice and the peace talks. the germans were ordered to evacuate the territory they had occupied in belgium and france including the regions of a sas in german troops pulled back behind the rhine river. german troops returning home after the war found that society had been severely disrupted . the. emperor vilhelm the 2nd stepped down as german emperor and king of prussia on november the 9th 1918 as required by the armistice agreement he spent the rest of his life in exile in the netherlands. many germans saw the abdication as a humiliation. in
germany troops were often welcomed home by large crowds many germans didn't believe they had lost the war on the battlefield i put that they'd been stabbed in the back by politicians. who later at all fittler would use that train to advance his own political agenda. on november the millions 918 a german republic was declared by philip shadowman a member of the new cabinet. that. was the this. was. the marxist agitator who's a look some borg wrote bush was society mimics order peace and the rule of law but it is wading in its own blood filthy and a sonnet the russian revolution was the honorable salvation of international

until later the entire world. i in december 1918 woodrow wilson became the 1st sitting u.s. president to visit europe his delegation included franklin delano roosevelt assistant navy secretary and future president. wilson attended a series of preliminary negotiations ahead of the paris peace talks. i will cement his wife edith arrived in the french capital on december 14th the city gave them a tumultuous welcome i
mean. we'll build a prosperous world in which all nations will enjoy the freedom for which france america england and italy have paid such a high price i in january $918.00 wilson presented a 14 point plan for postwar peace in parts it proposed self-determination for ethnic minorities and the creation of a league of nations to guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity of all states. encouraged wilson met frequently with the french prime minister. george klim also had been appointed prime minister and minister of war in november 917 and called for a complete victory over germany and the return of a sus and logan 2 fronts. clear also also demanded that germany pay huge
reparations for the damage it had caused during the wall. but the british and u.s. delegations were concerned that reparations would ruin the defeated powers financially and could lead to domestic tensions and even civil war as in russia. president wilson spent the last 5 days of 1918 in britain and on january the 1st travelled to easily for talks with king victor emmanuel and the prime minister. wilson also began preparing for the international peace conference due to open on january the 19th. he continued to push for the approval of his 14 point program including the right of self-determination for minority people yes i was warmly
received. by the italians but that had more to do with america's participation in the war than it did with his peace plan. italian nationalists fear that wilson self-determination proposal could lead to territorial losses one of their more prominent spokesman was a journalist benito mussolini the future italian dictator called wilson a bandit of international pluralism i. the paris peace conference was intended in part to conclude peace treaties with the defeated states set up a shared tool of reparations payments to be made by germany and draft international borders that accurately reflected ethnic bond ribs. a total of $27.00 states took part in the conference but the negotiations were
dominated by the big 4 allied powers. president wilson french prime minister also british prime minister david lloyd george. and the talian prime minister vittorio emanuele orlando. for the next several months the participants negotiated the terms of peace treaties with the defeated powers the german delegation was not allowed to take part in the discussions. they hoped that the final treaty would be based on wilson's 14 points and would not involve any loss of territory. the germans were deeply concerned that clemenceau would take a hard line and weaken the new german republic so as to eliminate its ability to
threaten from us i. i. at the end of 6 months of discussions the various delegations arrived at the palace of versailles to sign the main peace treaty. the ceremony took place on june the 28th 1919 the date was no coincidence. exactly 5 years before on june the 281914 the heir to the australian garion throne archduke franz ferdinand had been assassinated in sarajevo his murder had plunged europe into war. the choice of that side was also symbolic it was here that the new german empire was proclaimed in 871 following france's defeat in the franco-prussian war.
klim also had 4 severely wounded french soldiers posted at the entrance to the main hall so that the german delegation would see them when they arrived. the germans took their places at 3 in the afternoon and they had me a minute to read and sign the treaty. the conditions imposed by the allies were harsh germany's army was cut to 100000 men tanks submarines and military aircraft were banned the size of the navy was sharply reduced germany was also ordered to hand over its former colonies and to pay reparations the final amount was later set at $269000000000.00 goldmark's. that treaty and its alleged injustices were used by at all for hitler to promote
his nationalist agenda this footage shows hitler as a right wing demonstration in 1919. at that time he was working as an informer for the german military many germans considered the versailles treaty unfair and hitler speeches played to their worst fears. their side was a disgrace this dictated piece is plundering our people it's outrageous france our mortal enemy has its hands on our throats. hitler drove home the point that many germans were now living in poverty. let the shaman hatred of 60000000 germans turn into a sea of flames. the treaty require german soldiers. to hand over their weapons in return they received financial compensation.
supervised the destruction of the german aircraft and tanks. many senior german officers felt humiliated by all this the military began training what was left of its army into an elite force that would one day perhaps be able to take its revenge on france and. the new weimar government was constantly under threat by right wingers and militarist austrian born not only hitler soon emerged as one of their most prominent spokesman. as early as 1919 german friday cause started painting swastikas on their helmets. officer and angst you know wrote this war is not the end of violence it's the beginning. war veteran feedly feel

of european peoples to self-determination i will some campaigned across america on behalf of the peace treaty and the league of nations. the treaty would have to be ratified by the u.s. senate but wilson could not put together the necessary 2 thirds vote. as a majority party the republicans were opposed to it mainly because the league of nations would limit the senate's power to declare war. public opinion on the treaty was mixed with most of the opposition coming from republicans ethnic germans and irish catholic democrats. wilson tried to win them over. if we were ject beleaguered nations we will break the world's heart. the senate by failing to ratify the versailles treaty shattered
wilson's dream of u.s. participation in the league of nations i. would be held its 1st session in paris in january $920.00 and later that year moved its headquarters to geneva. the organizations main goal was to preserve world peace but could it do so if the united states was not a member of. several posts that cya agreements changed the map of europe and the middle east. and $919.00 treaty formally dissolved the ostrow hungary an empath and created an independent state of austria on 1920 treaty set up the independent state of hungary to new states appeared on the map czechoslovakia and a nation that would later be known as you. new borders paid little attention to
ethnic distribution germans were now living in poland and czechoslovakia and carians in remaining year and sabse croats and slovenes in yugoslavia these ethnic groups have lived together more or less peacefully in the australian garion empire . the ottoman empire had been home to a diverse mix of ethnic and religious groups including out of. the treaty of 7 signed in 1920 outlines the breakup of the empire and the creation of a new state that would mainly include ethnic turnips. from autumn and territory in the middle east would be divided between france and britain france was given a league of nations mandate to govern lebanon and syria. a similar mandate for palestine trans-jordan and iraq was awarded to britain. there
were huge reserves of petroleum in iraq and they would now be controlled mostly by britain. the treaty also provided for enough tone i'm a scottish region in the new turkish state. jewish communities have existed in palestine for centuries. beginning in 1920 large numbers of jews most of them from europe began immigrating to the region . zionist organizations demanded that a national home for jewish people should be created in palestine. during the war britain had said that any new jewish state should not disrupt existing arab communities britain made these and other promises to win arab support against the ottomans. the british officer t.e.
lawrence better known as lawrence of arabia served as a liaison between the british and arab forces. in november 921 the jewish agency for palestine was created to oversee jewish interests in the region. zionist leader and future israeli president high in vitamin noted at the time palestine will be as jewish as angle and is english and america is america. the seeds of the conflicts between palestinian jews and arabs had been so. in 1920 tensions were running high in constantinople now known as istanbul. immediately after the armistice allied troops occupied the city by this time a nationalist movement was already taking shape. the movement was led by general mostafa. who had led alterman forces to victory in the
campaign. the nationalists were opposed to the partition of the country as outlined in the treaty of 7. if we accept the allies demands there will be no end to their greed. came our organized a new army its primary goal was to drive out greek troops that had occupied the coastal city of smyrna in may 919 and then taken over much of western turkey. to bomb us forces launched a counterattack in all this 922. they pushed the troops all the way back to the aegean coast. on september the 9th 1922 commands troops reoccupied the city of smyrna.
4 days later a fire broke out in the city's armenian district and spread quickly at least 10000 people are said to have died. evidence indicates that the blaze was started by turkish troops kamar later denied any responsibility. tens of thousands of ethnic armenians and greeks fled to the docks to escape the flames at least 150000 were evacuated by british and american ships. meanwhile officials of the league of nations were actively working to repatriate prisoners of war and to improve living conditions for wall refugees. one of these diplomats was norwegian explorer a humanitarian and future nobel laureate future of finance and in 1921 months and was appointed the league's high commissioner for refugees. in

nancy pelosi the day before the house vote to impeach mr. trump. "more due process was afforded to those accused in the salem witch trials," mr. trump wrote.
