I would like you to be prepared to talk about the Peacemaking process in 1919-1920 by considering the following questions as you read the assignments for Friday:

1. What principles and goals guided the Entente powers in drawing up the peace treaties in Paris, as they related to Eastern Europe? Were all of these principles and goals compatible with one another?
2. As far as you can tell, were all of the Entente powers in agreement about these principles and goals, or did they disagree about them?
3. Did these peace treaties treat all of the "new states" equally and fairly?
4. Did the Entente powers really have any idea what they were doing when they drew up these treaties? In other words, were they adequately and objectively informed about conditions in Eastern Europe?

Our discussion will be based on these questions, though it may not address each of them directly.
