Armistice Talks and Global Peace Efforts In 1919 Context
Edward Pickard reports on stalled US Senate ratification prospects for the treaty with Estonia and the broader peace process. He notes Senator Pomerene’s optimism after talks with Senator Lodge, Tumulty’s Capitol visit, and Hitchcock’s warning of a long road to compromise. The Paris supreme council faces delays as German delegates lack full power, with troop withdrawals and Hungarian troop oversight planned. An Esthonian Soviet armistice at Dorpat yields seven days and signals hoped peace. Moscow ambitiously pledges world-wide Soviet influence and victory in Russia’s civil war in 1920.
