Description

The Versailles Settlement does not enjoy a good reputation: despite its lofty aim to settle the world's affairs at a stroke, it is widely considered to have set the world on the path to a second major conflict within a generation. Woodrow Wilson's controversial principle of self-determination amplified political complexities in the Balkans, and the war and its settlement bear significant responsibility for boundaries and related conflicts in the Middle East. Furthermore, other objectives of the peacemakers, such as global disarmament and minority protection, are yet to be realised. A century on, the settlement still casts a long shadow. This book, fully revised and updated with new material for the centenary of the Paris Paris Conferences at Versailles in 1919 sets the consequences - for good or ill - of the Peace Treaties into their longer term context and argues that the responsibility for Europe's continuing interwar instability cannot be wholly attributed to the peacemakers of 1919-23.

Media Reviews

ALAN SHARP was Professor of International Studies at the University of Ulster, from which he retired as Provost of the Coleraine campus in 2009. He is the author of The Versailles Settlement: Peacemaking after the First World War, 1919-1923 (1991) and was general editor of the Makers of the Modern World series.

-- Spectator

‘Alan Sharp is one of the leading historians of the peace settlement and this excellent and wide-ranging book … argues for a more balanced appreciation of the treaties and their legacy.’

-- History Review

‘For non-experts, the main value of the book will probably reside in its wide re-examination of the lasting consequences and aftershocks of the defining peace treaty of the twentieth century … For the expert, it is the fair, succinct, and balanced analysis of peacemaking in Paris 1919 for which the book is likely to be remembered.’

-- Diplomacy and Statecraft Journal
