in 9th grade work and writing in a short paragraph How the author John Maynard Keynes viewed the Treaty of Versailles from the article "The Treaty of Versailles: A Reassessment After 75 Years"
John Maynard Keynes viewed the Treaty of Versailles as a deeply flawed document that imposed excessive reparations on Germany, which he believed would ultimately lead to economic instability and social unrest in Europe. Keynes argued that the punitive nature of the treaty would only exacerbate tensions and hinder the post-war recovery process. He criticized the treaty for its failure to address the underlying economic issues that had contributed to the war, and instead perpetuated a cycle of hardship and resentment. Keynes's insights have been widely regarded as prescient, as the treaty's harsh terms are now widely seen as a contributing factor to the outbreak of World War II.
