Between 1921 and 1923 Keynes was involved, with varying degrees of success, in a variety of attempts at influencing British and overseas opinion. This volume prints all the principal articles, letters and memoranda surrounding the publication of The Economic Consequences of the Peace, A Revision of the Treaty and the series 'Reconstruction in Europe', which he edited for the Manchester Guardian Commercial. It also includes important memoranda, articles and correspondence on Britain's post-war monetary policy and international financial policy. As such, it is an important companion to his published work of the period and an important source for material on his development as a monetary economist.

This volume, a companion to Volume 17 and to many of the Essays in Persuasion (Volume 9), carries Keynes's involvement in the post-1919 reparations tangle down to the Lausanne Conference and Britain's subsequent effective default on her own war debts in June 1933 - almost fourteen years to the day after Keynes's own resignation from the Treasury over the original Peace Settlement effectively removed the issue from practical politics. The events it covers were dramatic - the German hyperinflation, the occupation of the Ruhr, the Dawes and Young Plans and the Hoover Moratorium. Throughout, Keynes attempted to shape opinion and the course of events through published articles, unsigned letters, contributions to The Nation and Athenaeum, speeches, letters, official committees and memoranda. These add an important dimension to our understanding of the history of the period.

Die Behandlung des Reparationsproblems in Versailles schuf eine Weichenstellung von ausschlaggebender Bedeutung für die europäische Geschichte der zwanziger Jahre. Unbekannt blieb bisher, wie die Reichsregierung an diese Problem herausging, wie sie ihre Verhandlungspositionen für die finanziellen und wirtschaftlichen Friedensfragen aufbaute. Dieser Aspekt und damit zugleich ein sehr wichtiger Teil der deutschen Friedensvorbereitungen insgesamt wird in der Untersuchung Peter Krügers eingehend dargestellt. Der Verfasser, Mitarbeiter der Editorengruppe im politischen Archiv des Auswärtigen Amtes, beschreibt aufgrund ausgezeichneter Aktenkenntnis präzise die oft recht problematischen deutschen Vorüberlegungen und Erwartungen, welche die spätere große Empörung und Verdammung des Versailler Vertrages erst verständlich machen. Zu den wichtigsten Ergebnissen der Untersuchung gehört in erster Linie der klare Aufweis der Priorität wirtschaftlicher Fragen auf deutscher Seite und, damit zusammenhängend, der überragende Einfluss früherer Vertreter der deutschen Wirtschaft, vor allem der Bankiers, und der hohen Reichsbürokratie auf die Friedensvorbereitungen. Die kritische Darlegung der bei diesen Gruppen dominierenden Vorstellungen und ihrer Verhandlungsstatistik bietet zugleich eine Analyse der Einfluss- und Entscheidungsbildung in der damaligen deutschen Regierung, welche die Schwäche der nominell regierenden Sozialdemokraten gegenüber den alten Sachverständigen-Eliten aufs Neue verdeutlicht. Die Unfähigkeit Deutschlands, sich in die Rolle des Besiegten zu finden, war auch darin begründet.

Signed in 1919 between Germany and the Allied Powers, the Treaty of Versailles formally ended World War I. Controversial from the very beginning, the treaty still shapes the destinies of societies and states worldwide. British Prime Minister David Lloyd George said It is all a great pity. We shall have to do the same thing all over again in twenty-five years at three times the cost, and French Marshal Ferdinand Foch declared that "This is not peace. It is an armistice for twenty years." At the time, observers read the treaty through competing lenses of peacemaking after the First World War, the future of colonialism, and the emerging threat of Bolshevism. A century after its signing, we can gain new perspectives on the treaty and its impacts by looking at how those histories evolved through the remainder of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first. The author of several award-winning books, Michael Neiberg provides a clear and authoritative account of the Treaty of Versailles, explaining the enormous challenges of trying to put the world back together after the global destruction of the First World War. He shows how the treaty affected not only Europe but also the rest of the world. In China, the Allied decision to give the Shantung Peninsula to Japan led to a wave of protests known today as the May Fourth movement, which is seen as a foundational moment in the modern history of China. Global disillusionment with the treaty led to mass transnational movements that helped to set the foundations for Cold War debates about anti-colonialism. American rejection of the treaty also served as a mirror and a prism for American fears and ambiguities about its own international role. The treaty is, therefore, much more than its role in ending the First World War."-- This book presents an introduction to one of the most important treaties ever written, the Treaty of Versailles, which formally ended World War I in 1919. Controversial from the very beginning, the treaty still shapes the destinies of societies and states worldwide. Its authors had the enormous challenge of trying to put the world back together after the global destruction of the First World War amid competing national interests and the demands of their populations for justice--
