How long was the Treaty of Versailles intended to be in order?
score:7
Accepted answer
WW1 was billed as "the war to end all wars". The mood at the end was that this would indeed be a watershed event after which wars will become a thing of the past and the world will enjoy a peaceful and equitable future.
The Treaty of Versailles was supposed to be the permanent foundation for this future.
Specifically,
- The German disarmament was supposed to be followed by general arm reduction treaties encompassing the Entente (see, e.g., Washington Naval Treaty; the efforts to limit land armies were generally unsuccessful, but chemical weapons were banned and war was "outlawed").
- Colonies were supposed to be granted independence as they become "ready" ("mandate" system was created so that mandate powers prepare mandate territories for self-rule).
This was, of course, wishful thinking, repeated by FDR's dream of "4 policemen" during WW2 and GHWBush's "New World Order" at the end of Cold War.
