![Page 6: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The End of World War One The Germans tried negotiate terms to end the war
while maintaining their honor The US President, Woodrow Wilson, proposed 14
points that Germany must agree to for the war to end
Wilson was not interested in punishing Germany Rather, he wished to build systems and institutions
that would provide a more peaceful future (e.g. The League of Nations)
Overall, Germany was pleased with the 14 points and eventually surrendered under the impression that these points would be the basis of the peace treaty.

FUN FACT: WOODROW DOESENT WANT AMERICA TO JOIN LEAGUE
![Page 8: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
So.. Here’s what we have so far
America wants Europe to rebuild itself (including Germany)
But not everyone feels the same way…
Why did i put that?
![Page 9: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
BECAUSE: THE FRENCH THOUGHT DIFFERENTLY
![Page 10: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Paris Peace Conference- 1919
The Paris peace conference is where the combatants met to create the peace
One Problem: The meeting was
dominated by the French who wanted to forever destroy Germany’s ability to make war
Any idea why the French wanted to destroy Germany’s military ?
![Page 11: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
AND THEN THERE WAS THE TREATY OF VERSAILLES- 1919
What do you think happens? How do you think the allies will deal with Germany
Discuss…
Think of:
-Military-Economy-Repairs-Land

On top of all that
Saar Region (Germany’s richest land in terms of natural resources) was occupied by the French
![Page 14: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SO AT THIS POINT, THE GERMANS ARE LIKE…
![Page 15: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
AND THE ALLIES ARE LIKE…
![Page 16: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
AND THESE ARE THE DUDES THAT DO IT…
Him not so much…
![Page 17: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
SO WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF THE TREATY?
WHO GAINED? WHO LOST?
DO YOU THINK THE WORLD AGREES WITH THE TERMS?
Discuss
![Page 18: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Effects of the Treaty
The Treaty was considered excessive by many at the time
Germany was humiliated and economically destroyed
Who else suffered? Austria/Hungary was completely destroyed Italy received no benefit for its war efforts
and fell into poverty Russia and Germany were both banned from
joining the League of Nations (Did not trust them, Bolshevik Russian Revolution)
![Page 19: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
So what happened to Europe after the war?
DID GERMANY LOSE OR GAIN LAND?
![Page 20: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Before and After…WHAT DIFFERENCES DO YOU SEE?
![Page 21: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

SO WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN TO GERMANY? NAMELY, THE GERMAN ECONOMY?
![Page 25: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The German Economy in the 1920s
It would have been very difficult for Germany to make repartitions payments even if their economy was healthy
However, with no colonies and the loss of so much territory, Germanys situation was completely hopeless
In order to find a way out of this situation, the new German government, began to print extra money to make the payments on time.
![Page 26: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Hyperinflation
The prices in Germany rose so fast that German money became completely useless
Almost the entire German population became poor almost overnight
![Page 29: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

4 Billion Marks
![Page 35: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
100 Gold Marks = 100 Trillion Marks
![Page 36: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The Effect of Hyperinflation The German rich did very well during inflation They bought up land, assets and expanded
their businesses The inflation cancelled out their debt However, lower and middle class Germans
were completely destroyed – life savings were eliminated
Employers could not keep up with the inflation, many stopped working as their weekly cheque would not be enough for a cup of coffee.
![Page 37: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The Effect of Hyperinflation Part 2
Police and government officials stopped working
The streets were run by gangs and groups of ex-soldiers
Violence and crime were rampant Most transactions were from Trading or
Bartering Communists and Right wing groups fought for
control of the country and the hearts and minds of the citizens
1923 Germany made our depression seem like a picnic!
![Page 38: The Causes of WWII Part 1: THE END OF WWI OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMANS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649da15503460f94a8da61/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
What’s next?
This terrifying environment was the perfect place for psychopaths and misfits to gain attention
Those who promised revenge and the restoration of Germany’s greatness soon became national heroes
The greatest of all these was . . .
