Treaty of Versailles
From Mises Wiki, the global repository of classical-liberal thought
The Treaty of Versailles, was a peace document signed at the end of World War I by the Allied and Associated Powers and by Germany in the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles, France, on June 28, 1919; it took force on January 10, 1920.[1]
Germany accepted the Treaty under heavy pressure shortly after the blockade of their ports was removed, which allowed much needed resources and food supplies to be imported. Arguably, the reparations were the most important cause of the destruction of the German mark.[2]
