The Peace Treaties After Ww1 Gabriella Kaunde
There were several peace treaties signed after the First World
War to make sure that another war would not take place. There
were four different treaties created for different countries.
These are the names of the peace treaties and their main
descriptions:
Germany: Treaty of Versailles (28 June 1919)
n/a
Afterwards: Bulgaria paid its reparations.
Turkey: Treaty of Svres (10 Aug 1920)

Kurdistan, Armenia, Hejaz (Arabia). Iraq and Palestine became British mandates.
Syria became a French mandate
France's aims
France had lost an estimated 400,000 civilians to the war, and
much of the western front had been fought on French soil. To
win the French public, Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau
wanted to impose policies deliberately meant to damage
Germany militarily, politically, and economically so as never to
be able to invade France again.
Britain's aims
Prime Minister David Lloyd George supported reparations but to
a less extent than the French. Like the French, Lloyd George
also supported secret treaties and naval blockades. Lloyd
George managed to increase the overall reparations payment
and Britain's share by demanding compensation for the huge
number of widows, orphans, and men left unable to work
through injury, due to the war.
