Subject: An Amazing Feat

The Treaty of Versailles was an amazing feat. In six months three old men created a new Europe from the ruins of the old. It was not perfect; it could not prevent World War 2, only a crushing defeat for Germany in the first could have done that. Self-determination was restricted to Europe. Yet in a devastated and newly complex continent no better attempt could have been made. Beset by conflicting demands the peacemakers left their mark.
Look at a map of modern Europe - not so different from a map of 1920 is it? Not bad for a such a despised treaty.
