The Paris Peace Conference and Treaty of Versailles, 1919

Collection: Paris Peace Conference and Beyond, 1919–1939    Volumes    The Paris Peace Conference and Treaty of Versailles, 1919
The diplomats who convened the Paris Peace Conference intended to formally end the First World War and establish a more stable international order. The resulting Treaty of Versailles was an ambitious attempt to realise these designs, forcing Germany to accept responsibility for the war, give up its colonies, pay reparations, cede vast swathes of its core territory, and disarm. It also established the League of Nations. This volume contains an assortment of Foreign Office documents relating to these aspects of the conference and treaty, from minutes and agendas of proceedings to handbooks and correspondence. There is also ample documentation on the relationship between the triumphant Allied powers, while students of economic history will find the reflections of John Maynard Keynes of particular interest. In addition, Cabinet Office records from the Lausanne Conference of 1932, which suspended reparation payments, are included, providing an insight into the eventual failure of the Versailles settlement.

Series: FO 373 (Foreign Office: Peace Conference; Handbooks): FO 608 (Foreign Office: Peace Conference; British Delegation, Correspondence and Papers); FO 893 (Foreign Office: Ambassadors to the Peace Conference, 1919; Minutes of Proceedings); CAB 29/139 (Cabinet Office: International Conferences; Minutes and Papers; Lausanne Conference, 1932).
