This sounds like a homework question.   But maybe this will help.\n\nEnding the War\n\nExpectations were simply too high on all sides because of the intense, brutal years of war which preceded the peace conference. WWI as the World’s first “total war” in which all segments of society, military and civilian, were deeply affected by the war\n\nAllies (Britain and France especially) wanted revenge and hoped to punish/weaken Germany and its allies substantially. Germany thought it would be treated as a equal power at the negotiations.\n\n\nVersailles Peace Treaty-1919\n\nWilson’s “14 Points” are almost completely rejected\n\nTerritory: Germany is forced to surrender roughly 15% of its pre-war state to the allies or new countries like Poland; many important mining and industrial areas put under Allied occupation\n\nMilitary: Few limits on victor powers; Germany forced to a 100,000 man army, few modern weapons, and almost no navy\n\nFinancial: In effect, forced Germany to hand the Allies a blank check; repayment of war penalties was not fixed at the conference and Germany was left to repay an incredibly large sum over years. \n\nA very bad treaty: satisfies almost no one, including the victors, and deeply angers Germany and leaves a strong sense of resentment about the lost war.

That's easy. The aftermath was world war 2.\n\nWell, economic depression, the rise of Adolf Hitler, the extermination camps, etc..\n\nSome historians say that actually world war one and two are just an expanded period of great changes.

As a result of WWI, Germany got trampled politically and economically.  Germany was forced to pay huge monetary remunerations since it was blamed for causing WWI.  Internally their money was undervalued and inflation was rampant.  One of the parties trying to gain control in the government was the Nazi party.  Hitler came to power in I believe 1933 with promises of a better quality of life, prosperity and (a big factor) a plan to regain Germany's status on the world stage.  He violated conditions set down in the Treaty of Versailles of June 28, 1919.  He built up the military beyond the treaty's limits i.e. built ships bigger than allowed, more tanks than were allowed, planes, etc.\n  Also, he had the idea that someone had to be blamed for the general poverty of the populace.  This was deemed the "Jewish problem".\n    The possible precursor to WWII was his being given the "Sudetenland" in Czechoslovakia.  Instead of the rest of Europe standing up to his aggressive invasion plans, it was thought if he was given some land he'd be happy and go back to his trampled nation.  Well, as we all know, that didn't happen.

Not feeling like doing your homework, hm? The Seoncd Worldwar had something to do with it, also the League of Nations. Just look it up.

Was there a WW1? Did WW2 follow? Think about it

After the "great war", the war to end all wars (WWI), no one wanted to get drawn into another big conflict. They thought the best way to stay out of a war was to avoid confrontation and let Germany do what it wants to.\n\nAccording to the treaty of Versailles, a whole host of restrictions were placed on Germany,.... they couldnt have an airforce, they couldnt have a very big navy, they couldnt put troops in a certain area near France, they couldnt build U-boats, ....\nWhen Hitler came to power, one by one, Germany broke pretty much every single stipulation of the treaty (and wasnt even very secretive about it).  Other countries didnt want to get into a war, so they looked the other way while all this was happening.  Germany decided that it wanted to annex the sudetenland in Czechoslovakia, so they did and other countries let them (Czechoslovakia wasnt too pleased though).\nGermany's invasion of Poland was the last straw and is commonly used to mark the start of WWII in Europe.\n\nEngland's prime minister, Neville Chamberlain, is known for his policy of appeasment.  Other countries looked on while Germany was doing all this, hoping to avoid another war when in reality it let Germany get away with way too much.

The fault lies mostly with Adolf Hitler, although the German people willingly followed where he led.  The Treaty of Versailles in retrospect was too harsh, but that is hindsight, which is always 20/20.  The Allies at the end of WWI did the best they could to get the various countries to come up with a workable treaty.

Well...the treaty was better than the treaty that ended WWI (notice there wasn't a WWIII twenty years later)

We felt that we placed enough safegaurds in the Treaty of Vesailles to keep there from ever being another war ever to be fought.  World War I or the Great War was the war to end all wars.  We placed strict limitaions as to the size and weaponry that the German Armed Forces would have to remain under, they were not allowed an Air Force or anything but Defensive Weapons.  We also created the League of Nations to be able to resolve differences between countries before a war broke out.  World War I was fought with new weaponry, yet they tried to fight it as an old style war.  Chemical weapons were used in the form of Mustard Gas and sometimes after the release of it the wind would shift and it didn't go where planned.  The war on the Western Front ended up being fought in trenches and the headway was often measured in feet and yards rather than miles.  It was also the first time that the Airplane made it's entrance to a war as a substantial weapon.  The technology of things had grown faster at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries than man had ever known before.  World War I had motor driven vehicles, airplanes, machine guns, repeating arms, heavy artilery.  Yet it was a war they tried to fight from the back of a horse.  It did not work and new methods had to be thought out as the war progressed.\n\nAll of this leads up to the failure of collective security.  Many people felt that WWI was the last great war to be fought that technology had grown so fast that fighting war had become inhumane and that as a collective society we would just not let it happen again.  It might have been so except the U.S. Senate never ratified the Treaty of Versailles and we never entered the League of Nations.  America went right back into it's Isolationist Stage once  again and left Europe to the Europeans.  Germany's people were very upset about what they had to give up at the end of the war and then the economy went through the floor.  Along come Adolph Hitler and the Nazi Party which is telling the German People that they have been robbed and that the Germanic People's should all be united once again.  This of course is what the German's wanted to hear.  The problem with uniting all the Germanic People was that they were spread out in different bordering countries.  In 1938 with out firing one shot the German's annexed  Austria and Chekoslovokia in a peaceful settlement negotiated by Neville Chamberlain Prime Minister of Great Britian, who stated "there will be peace in our time".\n\nWe had tried to set up boundries and limitations that would keep this from ever succeeding in this world at the end of World War I, yet not all of the parties would take responsibility for seeing it through.  I am not saying the U.S. participation in the League Of Nations would have made a difference, other countries turned their back as to what was happening besides the Americans.   People actually believed the retoric that there would be no more wars.  When we allowed the Annexation of 1938 we sent a clear message to Hitler that we were not going to put up much of a fuss and that Europe was his for the taking.  Germany was not allowed an Air Force, so she had flying clubs that flew warplanes on the week-ends, Nazi Youth were trained to be added to the Military when needed, we knew all about these things, but in the name of peace we collectively did nothing to stop it.  When World War II started on September 1, 1939 it took almost 6 full years to put a stop to the machine that should have never been allowed to be built.

Actually, the Treaty of Versailles was voted by the Senate, and it was defeated. Instead, the United States negotiated and signed a separate treaty with Germany which led to American soldiers on temporary occupation duty in western Germany for about 4 years.\n\nThere were two main problems for the Senate, one personal and one dealing with policy. The personal problem was between President Wilson on one side and Senator Lodge (the Republican leader) on the other. The two had come to an agreement that they would both honor a political truce during the war, where neither side would use the war for electoral purposes, but President Wilson broke the agreement when in the 1918 midterms he campaigned saying that only Democrats would be able to create a lasting world peace. For obvious reasons, Senator Lodge felt betrayed by this, and when the voters actually turned out against President Wilson and voted in a Republican majority in the Senate, the Repbulicans were not in the mood to give a "do-over." To make matters worse, when President Wilson travelled to Europe for the 1919 Peace Conference, he invited only Democrats to come with him, Republican ideas were completely snubbed. When the Treaty was finally signed and brought back to the United States, even though Lodge agreed with many aspects of the final document, the Republicans felt they could not trust President Wilson and made certain that the treaty would be attacked everywhere it was debated across the nation.\n\nThe procedural problem was the incorporation of the League of Nations as a vague but permanent part of the treaty and thus a permanent responsibility of the United States. The treaty was very vague and just said that a League would be set up at a future date. Many people were very hesitant to get the United States involved in a world organization where American sovereignty was subordinated to some outside aurthority. During the war, even President Wilson had been very hesitant about this sort of thing, and the United States never actually signed the Entente Cordiale or entered into any permanent agreement with the Western Allies.\n\nIn the end, despite a very hard-fought debate which saw President Wilson travel the entire country supporting the Treaty (to be followed by Republican Senators to speak against it after the President left) and eventually led to President Wilson being debilitated by a stroke, the treaty went down to defeat in the US Senate.\n\nIt is likely that, especially with President Harding's Normalcy and President Coolidge's ideas of governmental non-intervention outside of Latin America, the United States would not have had a very good experience with the League if the treaty had been approved. The League in the end was built around the colonial asperations of Britain and France and as such had a very hard time reaching meaningful agreements to stop aggression throughout the world.

The first world war was referred to both as \n' The Great War ' in old English referrence to large or of  moment, also, misleadingly, ' The War To End All Wars ' as the second world war disproved so effectively. It was called The Second World War from the start, I think. I prefer Archie Bunker's call on it:\n\n" Da big one. Douba - ya douba - ya two. "\n\nNo. I doubt there's going to be a WWIII. We all know it doesn't go out that way.

World War I, also known as the First World War and (before 1939) the Great War, the War of the Nations, War to End All Wars was a world conflict lasting from August 1914 to the final Armistice (cessation of hostilities) on November 11, 1918. The label World War I or First World War did not come into general use until after the outbreak of World War II in 1939, and until then it was commonly known as the Great War or the World War. The war was fought by the Allied Powers on one side, and the Central Powers on the other, resulting in eventual victory for the Allies. No previous conflict had mobilized so many soldiers or involved so many in the field of battle. By its end, the war had become the bloodiest war in recorded history, though this record was soon to be superseded by World War II.\n\nAmongst Western countries, World War I became infamous for trench warfare along the Western Front, involving a system of opposing trenches (separated by a "No Man's Land") running from the North Sea to the border of Switzerland. More than 9 million soldiers died on the various battlefields, and nearly that many more in the participating countries' home fronts on account of food shortages and genocide committed under the cover of various civil wars and internal conflicts. In World War I, only some 5% of the casualties (directly caused by the war) were civilian - in World War II, this figure approached 50%.\n\nUltimately, World War I created a decisive break with the old world order that had emerged after the Napoleonic Wars, as modified by the mid-19th century national revolutions, the processes of European national unification and European colonialism. Three European land empires were shattered and subsequently dismembered to varying degrees: the German, the Austro-Hungarian and the Russian. In the Balkans and the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire experienced the same fate. Three European imperial dynasties, represented by the Hohenzollern, the Hapsburg and the Romanov families in Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia respectively, also fell during the war.\n\nWorld War I witnessed the first advent of Communism as a means of government in Russia. The following decades would see the transformation of the old Russian Empire into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, a global superpower. In the east, the demise of the Ottoman Empire paved the way for a modern democratic successor state, Turkey, in the core region of Anatolia, in addition to a number of successor states and territories throughout the Middle East. In Central Europe, the new states of Czechoslovakia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Yugoslavia were born and Austria, Hungary and Poland were re-created. Shortly after the war, in 1923, Fascists came to power in Italy; in 1933, 15 years after the war, Nazism took over Germany. Problems unresolved or created by the war would be highly important factors in the outbreak, within 20 years, of World War II.\n\n\n\nCauses:\n\nOn June 28, 1914, Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria and heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was assassinated in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb student. The Archduke was there to assert imperial authority over a disputed province. Princip was supported by pan-Serbian nationalists, with links to the Serbian military. Though this assassination is usually considered the immediate trigger for the war, its origins can be traced back to the complex web of alliances and counterbalances that developed between the various European powers after 1871.\n\n\nReasons and responsibilities\nThe reasons for the outbreak of World War I are a complicated issue; there are many factors which intertwine. Some examples are:\n\nFervent and uncompromising nationalism \nUnresolved previous disputes \nThe intricate system of alliances \nConvoluted and fragmented governance \nDelays and misunderstandings in diplomatic communications \nThe arms races of the previous decades. \nRigidity in military planning

The Treaty of Versailles imposed huge reparations payments on Germany for the damage that was done to France during WW1. The payment of this debt, at the expense of the German standard of living, and the ensuing hyperinflation played a large role in the rise of the National Socialist party.

It's basically who ever is on the upside of a treaty wins. Sometimes like in the WWs the central and axis powers lost by accepting an unconditional surrender (complete surrender). Sometimes it is who ever conquers the whole country, not necessarily by determined by casualties.

I think you might have a paper-worthy idea here. Not sure, like the first poster, of the amount of support you'll find to back your theory up, but I do find the comparison appealing, and I've never thought of that before!\n\nHope you can draw the similarities without too much painful, fruitless research! Good luck!
