1920 Peace Conference

The 1920 Peace Conference, primarily resulting from World War I, aimed to establish lasting peace and reshape international relations. Key treaties, notably the Treaty of Versailles, were negotiated, which imposed strict penalties on Germany and redrew borders in Europe and the Middle East. The conference sought to prevent future conflicts by promoting cooperation, leading to the formation of the League of Nations, an early attempt at a global governing body. However, the punitive measures and unresolved tensions from these treaties ultimately contributed to the rise of World War II, highlighting the complexities of peacemaking.
