1919WRCAM49707Paris 1919. xv14284pp. printed in French and English on facing pages plus four large folding maps. Folio. Original printed wrappers. Minor edge wear small nick on front cover. Very good. Untrimmed and unopened. In a cardboard chemise and slipcase. Official French printing of the Treaty of Versailles a document of monumental importance in American and world history. The treaty made with Germany at the end of the First World War concluded a war of unrivalled devastation while sowing the seeds for the Second World War just twenty years on the horizon. The United States guided by Woodrow Wilson's vision played a central role in the crafting of the treaty. The U.S. Senate refused to ratify the treaty however based on the objection of several senators to the Covenant of the League of Nations which was included as Part I of the settlement thereby largely removing American influence and involvement from the international scene in the inter-war period. The Treaty of Versailles was a wide-ranging and ambitious document which sought not only to address the immediate postwar settlement but to punish Germany for its actions in starting and prosecuting the war attempted to remake the map of Europe and created a supra-national political organization the League of Nations. The Covenant of the League of Nations comprises the first part of the treaty. The next most famous part is that dealing with reparations which includes Article 231 the infamous "war guilt clause." By this article Germany accepted the responsibility of her and her allies "for causing all the loss and damage to which the Allied and Associated Governments and their nationals have been subjected as a consequence of the war imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and her allies." The intent of the article was to affix legal and financial responsibility on Germany but it took on moral implications and was used by Hitler during his rise as an example of Allied perniciousness. Germany had to agree to pay reparations to the allies in the sum of 20000000000 gold marks the amount to be modified by a reparations commission in 1921. Germany also had to recognize the independence of Austria and agree not to compromise that independence in the future. Germany's borders were redrawn with Alsace- Lorraine being given to France West Prussia to Poland and other lands such as Danzig and the Saar Basin stripped away. She lost her overseas possessions the Rhineland was occupied and the German army was limited to one hundred thousand men and largely disarmed. Other provisions address issues of tariffs ports labor aerial navigation prisoners of war and more. As has been noted the many punitive measures of the Treaty of Versailles did much to fan the seeds of discontent in post-war Germany and to facilitate the rise of Hitler who publicly flaunted the provisions of the treaty throughout the 1930s. The refusal of the United States to ratify the treaty and participate in the League of Nations was a crucial part in the chain of events that led to the Second World War. A most important document here in an official French printing with the Protocol as a separate signature at the end. unknown books

World War I Treaties Austria: Treaty of Saint GermainABAA

CONDITIONS OF PEACE WITH AUSTRIA caption title printed in English French and Italian

1919WRCAM35473N.p. but likely Paris 1919. Four versions of the text separately paginated and grouped together printed in English French and Italian two versions. Folio. Gathered signatures loosely inserted into printed wrappers as issued the four sections laid into a general printed wrapper. Moderate edge wear. Near fine. Germany's great ally in World War I was the Austro-Hungarian empire which in 1919 was broken apart and made into the separate states of Austria and Hungary birthing as well several other nations in Eastern Europe. The new state of Austria signed the Treaty of Saint Germain making peace with the victorious Allies on September 10 1919. Present here are preliminary printings in English French and Italian actually two Italian versions of that treaty indicated as such by the printed words "proof" "epreuves" and "bozza" on the respective treaties. The articles three versions of the treaty are not numbered sequentially but rather are numbered discreetly within parts and the pagination is not continuous between the parts. The second Italian version present here however does number the articles a total of 371 and the pages a total of 177 continuously though there is no printed date for the signing of the treaty indicating that it is also a preliminary proof printing though made later than the other three. Several of the most important parts of the treaty - those dealing with financial reparations for example - are blank here indicating that these proof versions were printed before those matters were completely settled. The conclusion of the Great War split apart the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the Treaty of Saint-Germain the newly-created state of Austria recognized the independence of Hungary Czechoslovakia Poland and Yugoslavia and also had to cede much land to Italy and Bukovina to Romania. Austria also had to agree never to compromise its independence and was therefore forbidden from entering into any alliance with Germany. Austria was also forced to admit its complicity with Germany in waging the war and was saddled with reparations payments. Austria's army was limited to 30000 and other articles of the treaty addressed political and economic issues. The text of the treaty also contained the League of Nations Covenant and therefore was never ratified by the United States Senate. A very rare and interesting version of an important treaty ending the First World War here in a very small printing likely made only for participants in the peace conference. unknown books

B/w graveyard illustration to left edges. 20" x 11-1/4" "Sixty thousand of our American Boys lie among the poppies of Flanders' Fields in France. To them only is the war over. They have paid the price in full. To countless other thousands of these boys returning home maimed and broken the war will still go on; they will be paying the price every day during the remainder of their lives. Can we who stayed at home carelessly and thoughtlessly assume the 'war is over' attitude until our balance of account is paid - until we have redeemed our pledge - to bear the final cost no matter what its amount" This poster is "one of 176 advertisements inserted simultaneously in every newspaper in the State of Oregon on behalf of the success of the Victory Liberty Loan". The information included on the poster describes the "Victory Liberty Loan" as the "Parent Bond of Them All" and draws the Men & Women of Oregon up to participate. "The imprint of fame upon the name of our fair state will turn to a stain of shame if we do not meet the obligation this Victory Loan represents. You are face to face with the real test of citizenship - true Americanism. Let this test find you measuring up one hundred per cent loyal." No holdings found on OCLC. Rare in the trade.
