Consequences and new borders
The peace settlement changed borders and expectations, but it did not settle every conflict. Ask whose claims were accepted or excluded.
Treaty of Versailles and New states
Objective: Explain treaty of versailles and new states, distinguish their meanings, and apply them to a described case.
Treaty of Versailles: The 1919 treaty imposed terms on Germany and formed part of a wider postwar settlement. New states: Imperial collapse and peace decisions created or reshaped states. Interpret these ideas within the institutions, places, and period being studied. Distinguish the definition from evidence that a particular event occurred. A teaching scenario illustrates an idea; it is not an authenticated historical document or proof of a real event. Application: A chronology distinguishes armistice from peace treaties. This most directly illustrates treaty of versailles. A map compares prewar and postwar borders. This most directly illustrates new states.
