The Treaty of Versailles - Brooks E. Kleber Memorial Lecture Series - a podcast by U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center

May 3, 2018 - Dr. Michael Neiberg

On November 11, 1918, the American people released a collective sigh of relief. News of an armistice with the German-led Central Powers led Americans to believe their war was over. In 1919, the Allies and the Central Powers concluded the Treaty of Versailles, a document whose impact still influences world affairs today. In this lecture, Dr. Michael Neiberg of the U.S. Army War College, speaks about the subject of his recent book, Dr. Neiberg tells the story of the enormous challenges the men in Paris faced as they attempted to piece swaths of ruin back together after the terrible impact of World War I. He also describes the consequences the treaty negotiations had on the immediate post-war years and the legacy the war left for the American people.
