Part 16/17:

The 1919 Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles marked both the end of one of world's deadliest wars and the start of an uncertain, often turbulent, new epoch. While it established a formal peace, the deep sense of betrayal, unresolved tensions, and flawed assumptions about human nature and international cooperation foreshadowed many of the conflicts that would follow. As history’s lens has shifted, scholars now see the treaty as a complex but perhaps necessary compromise—a testament to the challenges of peacebuilding in the wake of unprecedented destruction.
