Document Summary
Interwar period (1919-1939) the starting point is the treaty of versaills. Has been written about at great length. Model of simplicity compared to treaties today. Brought about a war between the germans and the allies. Intermixture of poles and germans on the border of germany. A lot of polish names held by unilingual germans. Eastern frontier there was an attempt to draw the line between ethnic and linguistic lines. Some of the territory that germany had taken in 1866 was returned to denmark. Alsace & lorraine was now returned to france. Limits placed on germany navy and army. The allies occupied the western part of germany along the river rhine. Rhineland and bridges across the land allow the allies to drive into germany should there ever be a war. This was to reassure france because it has a much smaller population. Occupied territory was also conditional on germany paying reparations.
