The End of WWI and the Attempt at Global Peace

after WWI ended, the nations were faced with the task of the core at the center of the world system
tried to patch up the they had
some envisioned a world that would put an end to the that had given rise to the First World War
an idea put forth as the war ground down: this should be a war to end all
this was the spirit, albeit not well , of the men who gathered in Versailles in France in 1919
imagined and discussed &global& peace
Woodrow was the hero of the day
particularly in
treated the entrance of the United States in the war as one of the moments that would France
sought to design a new system
shared several principles:
1. trade system had to be restored
the change for peace would be better the more there was a global
restore the standard
the center of that global economy in the 19th century was and Britain, using the pound
but Britain now had large to its dominions and to the United States now
it was unclear how this gold standard would get its
inhibited by high rates
restore trade
trade imbalances inhibited this
there was no more to the world economy
no plagued by debts
this was never completely resolved
2. the central powers would be
3. begin the process of old empires
Woodrow Wilson: inter-imperial had been the cause of conflict
dismantle the empires because empires seek
democratic nation-states are the anchorage for peace
self-determined nation-states should be rules by constitutional democracy
create protectorates
create nation-states out of the old
Empire
Empire
colonies were entrusted to become protectorates and mandates
Palestine
1917 Lord Balfour declared that new states would be created in this zone, and until then these states would become protectorates
to govern all of this, there would be a new meta-institution for the world called the League of
to prevent future conflicts
it was a Utopian architecture
met resistance from the United States
isolationists believed that the United States
the United States refused to ratify the treaty that would give rise to the league of nations
this was quite different than the decision by the United States in at the end of WWII
while the League of Nations was approved, the United States was not a
from the beginning, the league of nations was a organization
there arose a spectre of violence and rising racialized genocide
WWI was also an internal war among empires
Gandhi and others in became increasingly active again the suppression in India
the English economy had become quite dependent on India and needed it to support the war effort
the empire was 40% larger than Britain itself
Defense of India Act
an emergency criminal law enacted by the Governor-General of India with the intention of the nationalist and revolutionary activities during and in the aftermath of the First World War.
especially severe in the Punjab and Bengal
by 1918, Britain had over 2 million Indian soldiers in combat and non-combat unions
extermination was more sever in the Ottoman Empire
mass killing of Christians
Ottomans lived in fear
the Straits had been blockaded
the had invaded the Ottoman Empire
there was concern of non-Turkish people to the Ottoman effort
Greeks, Jews, and especially Christian Armenias were targeted for
Turkey felt it had to purge itself of foreign elements
foreigners inside Turkey was a problem for Turkey itself
Yusuf Akçura: "Turkishness is a brotherhood born of race."
started camps
soon billowed into an extermination campaign
goal was to eradicate the Christian presense
began in 1915
Armenians gathered together in camps
something more macabre and sinister
how do you tell the story of the hanged and executioners
how do you tell the story where the executioners pose for the in front of those they hanged
600,000 - 1,000,000 Armenians were slaughtered or died
the world had not yet seen a mass killing of non- on this scale before
90% of the Armenian population was eliminated
WWI was in a sense like a giant onion: conflicts within villages that would escalate outward into large conflicts and eventually a war among empires and brutality between states
so a war of this constitution and was not a war to end all wars
in some ways, we are still trying to cope with its
