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 A teaching scenario illustrates an idea; it is not an authenticated historical document or proof of a real event.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.
