Case Study #2: Versailles: The Allies’ “Last Horrible Triumph”
This week, you will read the comments of the German Delegation to the Paris Peace Conference on the
conditions of the peace which ended World War 1. You will find that document in the webliography. Many
have argued that it was the way World War 1 ended which made World War 2 inevitable. Read the
document and answer the following questions:
1. According to the authors of Germany’s complaint, how will various provisions of the treaty hurt
Germany’s economy?
2. In Germany’s view, how would the country have been treated differently if the principles they attribute
to President Wilson had been applied?
3. To what higher “fundamental laws” does the document appeal to in order to strengthen German
assertions?
4. Do you agree with the authors of the document that Germany was being poorly treated? What
response to their complaints might defenders of the treaty have made?

Case Study: The Democrat and The Dictator
Franklin Roosevelt and Adolph Hitler both came to power in 1933. They found themselves in charge of
nations still suffering from the consequences of World War 1 and the Great Depression. Unemployment in
the US was nearly 25%, while nearly one-third of Germany’s workforce had been idled.
Americans and Germans had opted for new leadership in 1933 and were now looking to their new leaders
for solutions, and perhaps a new vision of the future. Both FDR’s Inaugural address and Hitler’s first
address as Chancellor of Germany have been analyzed for their similarities and differences. Now it’s our
turn!
In 2-3 pages, do the following:
1. Read both speeches and give an assessment of what these two leaders thought was the cause of the
problems their countries faced. Provide quotes to support your view.
2. Using quotes from both speeches, tell how each leader intended to deal with:
1. Unemployment
2. Banking, finance and in general, the economy
3. Agriculture
4. Foreign Policy
3. Finally, in a concluding statement, tell where think these leaders find common ground in terms of their
proposed solutions, and what you think their vision is with regard to the power of their position.
Complete your Case Study in a Word document, approximately 300–400 words in length.

Iron Curtain Speech”, in which Churchill laid out the challenges for the West in general, and the US and
Britain in particular, regarding what would soon be known as the Cold War. Your assignment this week is
