The Paris Peace Conference took place in the background of 19 14. Archduke Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated, which changed the fate of the whole world. On July 28th of that year, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Immediately, the German Empire and Russia behind these two countries declared war. After the declaration of war between Britain and Germany, it meant that the European war zone was in full swing.
At that time, Yuan Shikai's government was in power, and it chose neutrality because there were foreign concessions and garrisons in China at that time. What if someone fights? Yuan Shikai's government promulgated many rules prohibiting countries that participated in the First World War from engaging in any belligerent acts in China's airspace.
However, the neutrality goal of Yuan Shikai's government has not been achieved. Shortly after the start of World War I, under the pretext of forming an alliance with Britain, Japan sent troops to attack JIAOZHOU Bay, a German concession in China, and wanted to pass through Shandong Peninsula. For various reasons, Yuan Shikai's government drew a war zone in the local area, and China was involved in the war of World War I. ..
The countries participating in the Paris Peace Conference include the United States, Britain, France, Japan, Italy, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Greece, Guatemala, China, Thailand, Haiti, Saudi Arabia, Honduras, Liberia, Czechoslovakia, Uruguay, Serbia-Croatia-Slovenia.
The meeting is controlled by the Supreme Council (the "Top Ten" meeting) composed of two representatives from the United States, Britain, France, Italy and Japan. On March 25th, the decision-making meeting of 10 people was reduced to the "Big Four" meeting: American President Wilson, British Prime Minister Lloyd George, French Prime Minister Clemenceau and Italian Prime Minister Orlando. In fact, major issues are decided by the representatives of the United States, Britain and France.
The history of the Paris Peace Conference has influenced the Paris Peace Conference. After the Paris Peace Conference, the contradictions among the great powers in Europe and other regions were temporarily suppressed. Subsequently, the "new order" of the international region known as the Versailles system was established. Versailles system includes not only treaties with Germany, but also treaties with Saint-Germain of Austria, Neuilly of Bulgaria, Trianon of Hungary and Seville of Turkey. However, the treaty with Turkey was opposed by the Turkish bourgeoisie. Later, the allied forces were defeated by Kemal and finally signed a contract.
