The Treaty of Versailles

Free HistoryBONUSInside!
The treaty that ended the First World War, also known as the "war to end all wars," was signed at the Palace of Versailles, which had been the home of French kings until 1789 and remains one of the most beautiful structures in the world.
Though the men of Versailles (and they were overwhelmingly men) had arrived in Paris to put an end to World War I, by the time the conference ended, the main goal of the diplomats and national leaders had turned into ending wars for all time. Obviously, that did not work, and as a matter of fact, the end result of the Paris Peace Conference-the Treaty of Versailles-would likely cause more wars than any of its authors could have possibly dreamed of, including World War II.
