Why Versailles Failed (Part 2)

Because of the blame of the First World War not being able to really go to anyone else on the losing side, Germany was forced to take it even though they hadn't even started the war in the first place. This would then cause the entire country of Germany to go bankrupt due to all the massive war reparations put on it by the Allied Powers. This would then cause German politics to shift so drastically that the kaiser (king) of Germany would resign, creating a power vacuum and allowing for the popular rise of one particular German soldier who tried painting once but instead decided to lead Germany with an iron fist and plunge the world into the Second World War (I'm pretty sure you know who I'm referring to by this point). However, Versailles did not just fail in keeping Germany pacified to the point where they wouldn't want revenge. Versailles also failed in a completely different category with the League of Nations. First off, the League of Nations was basically the early United Nations. It was proposed by Woodrow Wilson, the president of America at the time, and was the one point of his famous 14 points that actually got implemented into Versailles. Wilson also wanted Germany to be treated fairly when losing, which caused the French Prime Minister to laugh as he signed the document that would create the next World War in which his country would crumble to the ground within the first 2 years. Passive aggressiveness aside, the League would be responsible for world peace at any cost. However, it was terribly corrupt and had very little power  to do anything. For one, the League had no volunteer force like the modern U.N. It instead relied solely on treaties and paperwork for promises and had no real way to enforce anything that was written down. This would be seen when Italy would use gas weapons and commit atrocities towards Ethiopia in their second invasion of it. The League was also corrupt because there were only Western Powers that were represented in it, which excluded Asian and African countries altogether. This was why the Treaty of Versailles ultimately failed: it had the ability to have and keep the world at peace, yet only ended up creating higher tensions and revealing weaknesses in diplomatic systems that would have the world go through another world war to finally fix.
