Imagine it is the year 1918. Write a letter to the editor in which you express support or opposition to the Treaty of Versailles
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Dear editor,

The terms in the Treaty of Versailles are unfair towards the new German Republic that is being created. We cannot allow these massive war reparations to be put on the treaty, it will cause political chaos in Germany. Not to mention poverty would be everywhere in the country, Germany has already spent enough money on its own during the war, they have nothing to pay us back! The downsizing of their military should also allow them to only protect themselves. Instead of shaming Germany, we should help reconstruct their nation and they could be allies in the future with democracies spreading in Europe. I fear the rise of communism like what happened in Russia during the war can happen in this new German democracy. Or even worse a party could grow in the country that will defy the treaty of Versailles! This is why we must be extremely careful with our terms of the treaty and use our victory wisely. The creation of the European Polish state is a bit extreme and will affect all those Germans living in that territory. Please take this into consideration as the Treaty of Versailles will choose the fate of Germany's future.

With all sincerity, (Insert name here)

Thomas Paine wrote ____ to urge colonists to break from Britain.
In-s [12.5K]

2 Answers for you!!!

1. It was a pamphlet published in 1776 and immediately inspired the public to demand independence. It is considered one of the most influential political pieces ever written.

2.

On this day in 1776, writer Thomas Paine publishes his pamphlet “Common Sense,” setting forth his arguments in favor of American independence.  Although little used today, pamphlets were an important medium for the spread of ideas in the 16th through 19th centuries.

Originally published anonymously, “Common Sense” advocated independence for the American colonies from Britain and is considered one of the most influential pamphlets in American history.  Credited with uniting average citizens and political leaders behind the idea of independence, “Common Sense” played a remarkable role in transforming a colonial squabble into the American Revolution.

At the time Paine wrote “Common Sense,” most colonists considered themselves to be aggrieved Britons.  Paine fundamentally changed the tenor of colonists’ argument with the crown when he wrote the following:  “Europe, and not England, is the parent country of America.  This new world hath been the asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty from every part of Europe.  Hither they have fled, not from the tender embraces of the mother, but from the cruelty of the monster; and it is so far true of England, that the same tyranny which drove the first emigrants from home, pursues their descendants still.”

Paine was born in England in 1737 and worked as a corset maker in his teens and, later, as a sailor and schoolteacher before becoming a prominent pamphleteer. In 1774, Paine arrived in Philadelphia and soon came to support American independence.  Two years later, his 47-page pamphlet sold some 500,000 copies, powerfully influencing American opinion. Paine went on to serve in the U.S. Army and to work for the Committee of Foreign Affairs before returning to Europe in 1787.  Back in England, he continued writing pamphlets in support of revolution. He released “The Rights of Man,” supporting the French Revolution in 1791-92, in answer to Edmund Burke’s famous “Reflections on the Revolution in France” (1790). His sentiments were highly unpopular with the still-monarchal British government, so he fled to France, where he was later arrested for his political opinions.  He returned to the United States in 1802 and died in New York in 1809.
