Well that’s the thing with the treaty of Versailles….
Britain gained some German colonies and the German navy was destroyed but... Lloyd George thought the treaty was too harsh, and said: “We shall have to fight another war again in 25 years time.” The diplomat Harold Nicolson called it “neither just nor wise” and the people who made it “stupid” and the economist John Maynard Keynes prophesied that reparations would ruin the economy of Europe.
Whereas the french got Alsace-Lorraine, German colonies, harsh reparations and a tiny German army but...plenty of French people wanted an independent, not a demilitarised, Rhineland and most French people did not think the League of Nations would protect them against Germany.
We all know what happened next Eric.
Who are we playing anyway?
