Notes
This book was first published as "Lloyd George, Woodrow Wilson and the Guilt of Germany" by Leicester University Press in 1984. The book considers the Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles from a new perspective. It locates the origins of Appeasement in the dissatisfaction in the Treaty felt among the British Delegation at Paris, in its sense of discrepancy between the liberal ideals held by Woodrow Wilson and the perceived actuality of a "Carthaginian Peace". This disenchantment is discussed against the particular background of Article 231, the notorious "War Guilt Clause" whereby Germany was obliged to acknowledge responsibility for the War and liability for Allied losses.
