List two components of the treaty of versailles. explain how the treaty contributed to outbreak of world war ii.

raketka [301]

The treaty was negotiated between in Paris in 1919 between by the Allies with almost no participation by the Germans. The treaty included fifteen parts and 440 articles. It created the New League of Nations, which Germany was not allowed to join. Part II gave Germany new borders, and returned conquered lands to other nations. Part III stipulated a demilitarized zone. Part IV stripped Germany of all its colonies, and Part V reduced Germany’s armed forces and prohibited Germany from possessing certain classes of weapons. Part VIII covered reparations and made Germany accept responsibility for the losses and damages of the Allies “as a consequence of the war imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and her allies.” Part IX imposed numerous other financial obligations upon Germany.
The treaty contributed to WWII because it was extremely harsh. The Germans were forced to admit all guilt for WWI, and their country was bankrupt. They were angry and living in extreme poverty. They had nothing, and this led to a chance for someone like Hitler to rise up. The rest of the world viewed Germany with contempt, so they lashed out.

to what extent were relations between the united states and great britain more positive in the era of good feelings than they we

Masteriza [31]

In the 1780's and 1790's The United States and Britain had just fought in a war against each other. The United States and Britain went to war over the American people wanting freedom from British rule and taxation. The Americas won the war leading to large American debt and strained relations with Great Britain who embargoed American made goods.

The Era of Good Feelings, which occurred from about 1815 until about 1825, was a time period in which nationalism (or extreme pride in one's country) were at a high after America won the War of 1812. After the War of 1812, many British citizen wanted to reopen trade between Great Britain and America. There were no territorial losses between either countries and both sides were open to becoming close allies. This was made possible after the Treaty of Ghent, Rush-Bagot Treaty, The Treaty of 1818, The Webster-Ashburton Treaty, The return of Massachusetts, and the Oregon Treaty. These agreements documented the positive energy and the willingness to compromise and remain allies of both major nations.
