Les conséquences politiques de la paix

"Les conséquences politiques de la paix" by Jacques Bainville is a political analysis written in 1920 that denounces the Treaty of Versailles. Bainville argues the treaty left Germany too powerful while giving it too many reasons to break it—calling it "too soft for what is harsh, and too harsh for what is soft." He predicted Germany would remilitarize, annex Austria, provoke crisis with Czechoslovakia, and form a pact with Russia against Poland. His analysis proved remarkably prescient when World War II unfolded largely as he foresaw.
