Violation of Morton Kaplan†Rules of the balance of power There are many reasons why the Treaty of Versailles was, essentially, a failure One way to see why it failed is that it has not implemented the Balance ideas power established by the Vienna Congress of 1815 in fact it appears to violate the rules of Morton Kaplan†the balance of power balance of power before World war was already very delicate atmosphere of politics in Europe, in particular Relations between Britain and Germany was already very tense he was so tense that the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo suppressant called by a Serb Gavrilo Princip could trigger a world war, because of a chain reaction across the alliance systems.

The Treaty of Versailles did not have any more states their negotiating efforts that Germany was excluded from the conference and simply presented with a treaty they had no other choice but to sign Although the Treaty Versailles did stop fighting, some would say he did not do to stop the removal of an essential condition he seemed to favor the elimination of German in a sense, for example, the Treaty of Versailles created the League of Nations in Germany has been very significantly away from the League of Nations until 1926 and the Soviet Union until 1934 Some might argue that the point four was applied in the First World war, but again we must remember that there were many other causes of war and France wanted revenge for the humiliation that Germany caused the Franco-Prussian war Britain 1870-1818 71 was in an arms race with Germany and did not want to see Germany triumph All States are not opposed to Germany just to preserve the balance of power, for example, Japan and Italy were convinced by Britain and France to participate in the war with the promise that they would win by the Treaty of Versailles developed area 6 is definitely not implemented, however, it started to take place over the years Stresemann Germany a period of prosperity.
On 5 October 1918, the German Government sent a brief note to the President to accept the Fourteen Points and ask for peace negotiations The response of the President of October 8 asked if it was certainly understand that the German Government has accepted the conditions within fourteen points in his following addresses and the subject to enter into discussion would only agree on practical arrangements for their application He added that the evacuation of the invaded territory must be a precondition for an armistice, the German government on October 12 returned an unconditional yes to these questions; its purpose to enter into discussions would agree on the practical details of the implementation of these terms.
From the above statement, it seems that the Germans fooled that the Treaty of Versailles was not at all based on Wilson's Fourteen Points.
There seems to be a strong theme of powerful countries that benefit other nations who threaten Britain and France being the most powerful countries as they were supposed victors of the war used the clause guilt war to justify payment of reparations they used to pay their own war debts This was very hypocritical as the British and French were also to blame for the war and had caused much death and destruction Today, the United States expects China to let its currency appreciate when the US itself is to let the dollar depreciate to make its exports cheaper continuous hypocrisy disguised in the language of justice and equity.
