Thank you We sneak and here's your shmoop do george

00:05

brought to you by peace treaties A concept that everyone

00:08

with siblings knows all too well Here's your question the

00:12

treaty of versailles placed blame for world war one on

00:15

uh what choice Russia germany The first world war was

00:21

grueling violent and an all around terrible thing for everyone

00:24

involved which is exactly why someone had to be blamed

00:27

And it sure as heck wasn't gonna be the victorious

00:30

allied powers even though all four of our potential answers

00:33

were involved in the great war on ly one of

00:36

them took everyone share of the blame So which poor

00:39

sap took on the role of scapegoat Well let's take

00:42

a look at cnd seeing as a big part of

00:45

taking responsibility for the war involved paying reparations for damages

00:49

A now entirely unintimidating austria hungary and bulgaria managed to

00:54

dodge blame because well they really didn't have any money

00:57

to spare That doesn't work in real life Russia meanwhile

00:59

had already signed a separate peace treaty with germany the

01:02

treaty of restless tossing in the treaty russia's seated the

01:06

baltic states to germany the province of cars oh blast

01:09

To the ottoman empire and paid six billion german gold

01:12

marks in reparations The allies basically figured this was punishment

01:16

enough which leaves us with b germany Sorry germany had

01:19

to be someone Despite fighting in a coalition with austria

01:22

hungary bulgaria and the ottoman empire germany took essentially all

01:26

of the blame for the war even took rush a

01:29

share of the blame despite the fact that the entire

01:31

war started with russia's support for serbian indep tendons from

01:35

austria hungary Well the treaty of her sighs signed in

01:37

nineteen ninety force germany to accept responsibility for the war

01:41

which came with a hefty war debt He took nearly

01:43

one hundred years to repay this debt affected the german

01:47

economy and site geist our overall mood so much that

01:50

it actually paved the way for adolf hitler's eventual rise

01:53

to power in the late nineteen twenties and thirties The

01:56

next time you're making a peace treaty with your siblings

01:58

just remember it could be a whole lot worse Shmoop 00:02:03.329 --> [endTime] oh
