Ukraine needs peace without war. What lessons should be taken out from the results of the First World War

The peace treaty will end this war anyway. But, as political scientist Igor Popov points out, it should be peace for many years - not as it turned out after the First World War. During the First World War, Germany and Allies offered peace at the end of the fall of 1916. It was already after the "Verdu meat grinder" and attempts to attack the somme. When the war became "on the Western Front unchanged.

" The Entente refused to conclude a peace agreement, the reason was called the willingness to continue the war until the rights of the small peoples would be protected. In April 1917, the United States joined the war and sent an expeditionary corps to Europe. In 1917, the Pope published a call to peace, but was rejected by both sides. At the beginning of 1918, US President Woodros Wilson presented a peace plan of 14 points.

Among other things, the plan provided for the withdrawal of German troops from Russia and Belgium. After that, half a year, Germany tried to conduct offensive operations on the Western Front, but they did not produce the expected result. In the second half of 1918, the war was stopped and negotiations began. The winning countries have prepared a detailed project of a peace treaty and handed it over. The big debate has summoned the reparation item.

Their amount, as a result, amounted to 100 thousand tons of gold and was unbearable for Germany. According to many estimates, this has become one of the causes of the Nazi revenge. Therefore, after the Second World War, "Marshal Plan" was introduced instead of reparations. And Germany paid reparations for World War II by 2010. Another controversial point was to imprison Kaiser Wilhelm II as a person guilty of war. After long debate, they refused this requirement.
