ch.19 sct.4 C.T.#3

The Treaty of Versailles didn't lay the foundations for a longlasting peace because of the remaining anger of the Allied countries against the "brutality" of the Germans and the "unfair" treatment of Russia and Germany in the treaty.
Some of the Ally leaders had experienced German brutality such as Georges Clemenceau, who had survived 2 German invasions and was determined to prevent future invasions. This anger felt by many of the Allied countries made them hesitant to make any "peace" with Germany.
The treaty made Germany forfit the right to maintain an army, give back the land to France, and pay a large amount for repair costs to the Allies. Germany obviously was not happy with this, and they didn't have enough money to pay the huge sum.
Russia also would be forced to give up a lot of land by the Treaty, so they opposed it too. Even some Americans thought the treaty was too harsh.
Many people were opposed to the Treaty of Versailles, and since noone was really happy with it, it wouldn't provide a longlasting peace.
