If grade 10 history serves me correctly the Treaty of Versailles actually set the course for WW2 to happen. The Treaty has Germany claim full responsibility for the damages caused by the war and had them paying absolutely huge reparations. This caused them to be producing currency at an extremely increased rate leading to less value in money. This in a way ended up causing the depression that allowed Adolf Hitler to rise up from. (businesses couldn’t afford to stay open, people lost their jobs and couldn’t afford to live.) one of the first things he did was stop paying the reparations. Soooo I think the answer you are looking for is no but I’m not sure the context your assignment is looking for. Hope this helps!
Ida Tarbell (1857 – 1944) pertained to the generation of journalists called muckrackers, who investigated and denounced corruption and unethical practices perpetrated by businesses and government officials during the Progressive Era (late 19th century and early 20th century) in the US.
She published <em>"The History of the Standard Oil Company</em>" in 1904 through which she set a precedent, and many others subsequently started to gather information and to denounce the abuses committed by companies with absolute market power (monopolies) or by trusts operating in olipolistic markets. The Sherman Antitrust Act had been recently passed in 1890 but firms had been able to freely limit competitiveness during the whole 19th century. Tarbell denounced the manner in which certain corporations gathered enormous fortunes by using anti-competitive practices, possible due to their dominant position in the markets, and also impeding others to participate on the profits of the industry.
Such monopolistic practices enlarged the inequality within the industry and also in the whole society where large fortunes started to appear while most people were humble factory workers who earned very modest salaries.
