Chapter 41 5. The Treaty of Versailles: A Twenty-Year Truce

On November 11, 1918, the bloody and brutal World War I finally came to an end.As a defeated country, Germany will lose 13% of its territory, pay 32 billion U.S. dollars in war reparations, plus an annual interest of 500 million U.S. dollars, impose a 26% extra fee on export products, and lose all overseas colonies.The army can only keep 100,000 people, and the navy cannot have more than six main warships, and must not possess offensive weapons such as submarines, aircraft, tanks, or heavy artillery. British Prime Minister Lloyd.George had declared that the pockets of the Germans would be searched to find the money, but privately he conceded that the document we had drafted (the peace treaty) would doom the war twenty years later.When you impose such conditions on the German people, it can only lead to the Germans either not keeping the treaty or going to war.British Foreign Secretary Kerring agreed, saying: "This is not going to bring peace, it's just a 20-year truce."

US President Wilson also frowned when he saw this agreement and said: If I were German, I don't think I would ever sign this agreement.The problem is not whether the politicians are aware of the nature of the problem, the problem is that the masters behind them are the real decision makers.The bankers who accompanied Wilson to Paris included: Chief Financial Advisor Paul.Warburg, Morgan and his attorney Frank, Morgan & Co. senior partner Thomas.Lemon, Baruch, the chairman of the War Industries Committee, and the Dulles brothers (one was the head of the later CIA, and the other was Eisenhower's Secretary of State).Behind the British Prime Minister is Philips.Sir Saison, he is a direct descendant of the Rothschild family.The senior counselor of French Prime Minister Clemenceau is Georges.Mandel, his real name is Jerobo.Rothschild.The chief representative of the German delegation is Paul's elder brother Max.Warburg.When international bankers gathered in Paris, Edmund, later the father of Israel,Baron Rothschild provided a warm welcome as host, and he housed the head of the American delegation at his luxurious estate in Paris.The Paris Peace Conference was actually a carnival for international bankers. After making a fortune in the war, they sowed the seeds of the next war: World War II.
