Why did France push for harsh punishment of Germany?

Social Studies
1 answer:
andre [41]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

It was a direct consequence of the harsh reparations asked by the German Empire to France in 1871 after the Franco-Prussian War (5 billions of gold francs in 3 years). France paid in a little more than 2 years. So in their logic, Germany should also pay and should definitely not be treated with any mercy because they did not treat France with mercy. Hence « l’Allemagne paiera !! ». France was literally obsessed with the Franco-Prussian War and this explains the radicalism towards the question of Alsace. There was no compromise possible, France would recuperate it with no conditions at all, because this was a terrible humiliation that French never stopped complaining about for years.

Germany was also imposed harsh reparations to Belgium since they invaded them, thus violating Belgium’s neutrality.

Germany was also considered by the Entente powers the “sole responsible” of the entire war (which is quite unfair really) and so in their eyes, Germany was due nothing, no mercy or anything, because it was all their fault.

There are some obscure and funny clauses in the 1919 Versailles treaty, like the restitution of a cranium of the sultan Makaoua to England (article 246). The Wa-Hebe people in the African Great Lakes region asked to get it back because it was to be worshiped in their customs (I do not know their more modern name nowadays, but it must be one of them). It’s possible they never got the cranium back.

Developmental psychologist __________ speculated that the underlying temperament of a given society, determined genetically, may
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

J Kagan

Explanation:

According to Kagan, :

   temperament refers to stable behavioral and emotional reactions that appear early and are influenced in part by genetic constitution.

 —Thus as Kagan's developmental psychologist hypothesis implies, a temperament of society refers to consistent patterns in behavior that have a biological basis, relatively independent of ambient factors like learning, systems of established values , context, and other preexisting elements.

He studied babies in Guatemala, and after taking in consideration cultural , and biological factors he argues:

The characteristics mentioned can influence later the behavior of the infants depending on how they engage with environment, but Kagan thinks that still a stable behavior based only in one cause is difficult since environment is always changing , and genes also are changing in response to these dynamics.
