In this episode, we’ll explore the diverging attitudes of Allied nations towards the Treaty of Versailles. France, having endured significant destruction and invasions, pushed for a punitive treaty to ensure security. In contrast, British public opinion leaned towards punishment, but the government recognized Germany's importance as a trading partner. We’ll also look at the harsh terms imposed on Germany, including territorial losses, disarmament, and the War Guilt Clause, which fostered resentment. Join us as we delve into the complex motivations behind the treaty and its lasting impact on Germany.
