World History in a Nutshell

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

"I hope you guys enjoyed your break," said Daniel, as the class filed in. "Today, we're jumping right back into the fray and it's going to be a research lesson.

"We're looking at World War One, which was known as 'The war to end all wars.' As I'm sure you're all very aware, it didn't and one of the reasons why it wasn't is the Treaty of Versailles, which is something I want to add to the list of research topics you guys are looking at.

Causes and the start of the war (Blair)
Trench Warfare - Germans (Chad)
Trench Warfare - Allies (Hermione)
Naval Warfare (Dean)
Battle of the Marne (Broots)
Battle of Tannenberg (Sam)
Battle for Gallipoli (Lyra)
Battle of Verdun (Molly)
Battle of the Somme (Cameron)
America joining the war (Jim)
Treaty of Versailles (Evelyn)

"Any questions, just ask me."

Evie's ... more than a little disturbed by the class course content.

"The Treaty of Versailles." She looked down at her notes, and licked her lips. "The Treaty of Versailles was the peace treaty which officially ended World War I between the Allied and Associated Powers and the German Empire in 1919. After six months of negotiations, at the Paris Peace Conference, the treaty was signed as a follow-up to the armistice signed in November 1918 in the Compiègne Forest, which had put an end to the actual fighting." Evie took another breath, her eyes on her paper. "Although there were many provisions in the treaty, one of the more important and recognized ones required that Germany accept full responsibility for causing the war and, under the terms of articles 231-247, make reparations to certain countries that had made up the Allies." She finally looked up, her voice bleak. "Setting up the conditions that inevitably lead to World War II."

Lyra looked over at Evie, raising her eyebrow in a concerned, "are you okay?" kind of way. Lyra's well-versed in eyebrow speak.

Lyra headed back to the books, to research. Soon she was absorbed in the pages, flipping back and forth and making notes in a loopy scrawl.
