Using archival footage and dramatic re-enactments, this documentary deals with the immediate aftermath of the 1918 armistice that brought World War I to an end. From January to July 1919, the Paris Peace Conference dealt not only with issues related to Germany but with the thorny issue of national boundaries in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. From this conference emerged Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia; the annexation of parts of Germany by other countries; the creation of Iraq; and the transfer of German colonies in Africa and China to new colonial masters. It also led to the creation of the League of Nations, championed by President Woodrow Wilson but which the US never joined. When they finally dealt with the issue of war reparations, they imposed a payments schedule on Germany that many believe provided the underpinnings of World War II. 译文(2): 这部纪录片利用档案片段和戏剧性的再现，讲述了1918年结束第一次世界大战的停战后的直接后果。1919年1月至7月，巴黎和平会议不仅处理与德国有关的问题，而且处理欧洲、中东和亚洲国家边界这一棘手问题。从这次会议中产生了南斯拉夫和捷克斯洛伐克; 其他国家吞并了德国的部分领土; 伊拉克的建立; 以及德国在非洲和中国的殖民地移交给新的殖民主人。它还导致了国际联盟(League of Nations)的创立，该联盟由美国总统伍德罗?威尔逊(Woodrow Wilson)倡导，但美国从未加入。当他们最终处理战争赔款问题时，他们强加给德国一个支付时间表，许多人认为这是第二次世界大战的基础。
