Europa, die internationale Architektur und die Weltpolitik 1917–1920

Abstract

The disintegrative effects which the Paris Peace Treaties had on Europe should not be underestimated. In the centreof the continent in particular, they established a set of scattered states that resulted from the disintegration of severalimperial orders. The years 1917/18 to 1920 not only reflect lines of development in European, but also in manyareas of world history, as will be illustrated by the examples of the USA, Russia, Japan and China.
