Treaty of Versailles Practical Exercise
Background: Students are to select nations that participated, or thought they should have participated at the Versailles Peace Conference in 1919. Those nations included France, Britain, Italy, Japan, and the United Nations, as well as the other parties that either met at Versailles or the other component treaties that comprised the Versailles settlement (Austria, Ottoman Empire, Germany, Bulgaria). Russia was not a party for obvious reasons, but lets assume that the new Soviet Union was fully apprised of the negotiations in Paris. It is the responsibility of the students to represent the nations they select as accurately as possible over a two day period. During that time they shall attempt to reach a just and lasting peace in Europe. Goals: Students shall attempt to (1) represent the policy initiatives of their country as effectively as possible and (2) during a wrap up session offer a policy their nation should have adopted in order to avoid future armed conflict. In order to demonstrate their mastery of the subject, students may elect to offer position papers to other students during the course of the exercise to highlight the realism of the forum. |
