Source B A British cartoon about the Paris Peace Conference, published January 1919.
It shows a scene in a restaurant where Woodrow Wilson reads a book, and
Georges Clemenceau holds the bill. Great Britain, shown as a police officer,
holds a figure representing Germany.
Source C Adapted from a speech by a leading German politician, May 1919, at the
Paris Peace Conference. He made this speech after he was shown the terms of
the Treaty of Versailles.
We do not wish to excuse Germany from all responsibility, but it is wrong that
only Germany should be accused of starting the war.
Germany wishes to help to rebuild Europe, but we cannot do this without the
help of our previous enemies. But neither can you carry out this reconstruction
without us. Without a solution to this problem, there will not be a lasting peace 5
as the German people will feel hatred and despair.
