Versailles Twenty Years On and the Fragile Peace
A retrospective on the Treaty of Versailles twenty years later. It critiques the League of Nations and the failed guarantees of peace, notes territorial reapportionments and German constraints, and recounts related anecdotes from history. The piece also includes a long anecdote about Sultan M Kwawa and a transition to a feature on homemade ice creams and a new cookbook.
