How was the Yalta conference similar to the Treaty of Versailles? social studies 30-1. Chapter 7

The Yalta Conference and Treaty of Versailles represents
quite different kind of events in history. The Yalta conference (1945) was a meeting of
allies in World War II to agree on a common understanding between when the war is won.
In contrast Treaty of Versailles (1919) refers to the agreement reached between warring
parties after declaration of armistice in the first world
war.

Yalta Conference was a meeting between President
Franklin D. Roosevelt of the United States, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of Great
Britain, and Premier Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union.  The Treaty of Versailles
provided an official peace between Germany and nearly all of the 32 victorious Allied
and associated nations, including France, the United Kingdom (UK), Italy, and Japan.
However, there wee some similarities between Treaty of Versailles and agreement reached
in Yalta conference.

The main similarity was the provisions
for creating organizations and mechanism for promoting international peace. Treaty of
Versailles created several new international organizations, including the League of
Nations and the Permanent Court of International Justice. The Yalta conference similarly
agreed on a structure of a world peacekeeping organization that was to become the United
Nations. The two agreements, like all similar agreement involving settlements after war
also provided for reorganization of territories of some
countries.
