Treaty of Versaille




The treaty of versailles was the treaty that ended World War1. It ended the war between germany and the Allied Powers. Five years after the assassination ofArchduke Franz Ferinad the treaty was sign on june 28 1919. One of the major thing that that the Treaty said was that Germany and its allies had to accept responsibility for causing the war, so pretty much the war was blame on them.They also had to pay reparation to any countries that got involved in the war. The treaty versailles took time to take place eventhough it was signed in 1919 ,six months passs and then the negotiations at Paris Peace conference. I think the treaty was't fair because it blamed eveything on the Germans. They say that the treaty of versaukke ked to the rse of fascism and Adolph Hitler because the German economic had went downs the people armed force was viewed as an embarrassment and the Germans felt very down and insecure .Fascism and Adolh wanted to take revenge.

Ghandhi


Gandhi help the nation of Indian to gain independence from Great Britain by using non violence, he believe that violence did';t need to be use. Even though the British attacked the them, the Indians, muslims or other didn't attack back. For example April 13, 1919 a bunch of Punjabis gathered in Amristsar;s Jallian wala Bagh to protest and talk about their independence then the British troops ordered 50 soldiers to fire all the people that were gathered. However the people didn't fight back they just ran and try to hide. From 1918 to 1922 the movement had become much more stronger. Gandhi led the Indian National showed series of civil disobedience campaigns, that didn't include any violence, what so ever. He organized or group large amount of people to talk about and have meeting, however this was provided Indians couldn't have no meeting what so ever. Gandhi created different cultures, religions and political belief. He got arrested plenty of time but when he did it wasn't for a long time, tho this made him gain more power.Gandhi try to ask the British to stop buying goods from the British and start using Indian goods. Gandhi started to make his own clothes to show the British that he didn't need there stuff and this way by some people following his footstep it would make the economic bad for the British. I do think that that Ghandi had the moat influence for the independence of India, but what help was that WW2 had ended by 1947.
