The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919 following World War I, was not a clear victory for democracy. While it aimed to promote peace and create a more democratic international order, it ultimately failed to achieve these goals. The treaty imposed harsh terms on Germany, leading to economic hardship and resentment that contributed to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the outbreak of World War II. Additionally, the treaty's creation was dominated by the "Big Four" Allied powers, limiting the influence of smaller nations and undermining democratic principles of equality and cooperation. Overall, the Treaty of Versailles did not create a lasting victory for democracy.
