We finished watching
"Paris 1919" today in class. If you wanted more information on the key players at the Paris Peace Conference, please check the wiki (under
Peacemaking, Peacekeeping, International Relations) for the PDF file called
"Who's Who at the Paris Peace Conference". When you were watching this film, some questions should have emerged for you, such as:
- Is it possible for all stakeholders to be satisfied?
- Can values be placed on dead soldiers, lost livestock and destroyed countryside?
- Will new national boundaries be fair and just?
- Can new nations be successfully created out of dissolved empires?
- Is there a place for idealism in peacemaking?
- Is it too much to expect international organizations to be able to maintain world peace?
- Can a new world order remedy enduring causes of conflict such as religious and ethnic divides and power hierarchies?
As you should have surmised from the film, none of the major participants in the Paris Peace Conference is completely satisfied with the results. Tomorrow we will be going to the library to work on your Internal Assessments. Please come to Room 111 first and then we will go down to the library together.
