what explanations did the delegates have for brockdorff rantzau reading his reply while remaining seated ?

1 answer:

8 0

Brockdorff-Rantzau was Germany's foreign minister when the Treaty of Versailles was signed. The treaty was meant to put an end to World War I.

Initially, the German delegation had great trust in the process, as they had been promise a treaty that would ensure "a peace without victory." However, what they obtained was very different. Brockdorff-Rantzau believed the terms of the treaty to be extremely harsh towards Germany. The country lost 13 percent of its territory and 10 percent of its population. Moreover, it was denied membership in the League of Nations, forced to pay significant reparations and forced to claim that they took sole responsibility for the war.

The delegates explained this by justifying the amount of destruction that they believed Germany was responsible for, and by referring to the actions of Germany during the war. Despite a great amount of debate, Germany was eventually forced to sign the treaty, creating a lot of resentment in the country.

How did russia's harsh winter help the country in the early 1800's?

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Russia has been a notoriously difficult country to invade, given its large size and generally large population throughout history. Freezing winters have also played a role in helping protect Russia, which was famously noted in 1812 during Napoleon's failed invasion of Russia. In response to European nations who saw the new French government as threat to the balance of powers, Napoleon annexed various parts of Europe and launched an invasion of Russia with over 600,000 soldiers. Napoleon invaded in the summer of 1812, but long fighting and a scorched earth policy by Russian forces prolonged the fighting and when a harsh winter arrived, the French army that lacked in supplies was reduced to under 100,000 soldiers. Eventually, Napoleon conceded his defeat, and left Russia in December, 1812.
