Versailles was, according to many historians, the "death knell" of Europe.
The ability of people to blame others for the effects of own behaviour, rather than to blame themselves for their own decisions, castes long shadows.
Individuals should avoid debates following the principles of "right/wrong" since such debates go around in circles forever. Debaters cherry-picking their "facts" and "dates." Obviously, everybody has a different concept of "right/wrong."
Instead, point out causal effects of own actions imposed, and which were NOT a result of a "round table" negotiation such as The Concert of Europe was. These decisions after the Napoleonic Wars, to create a balance of powers per mutual agreement after a major tragedy which affected all, worked amazingly well for 100 years, despite the limited wars which continued after 1815. The first step was to acknowledge the security risks of all, avoid the finger pointing at all the various hotheads escalating a limited crisis/engagement of regional character thereby escalating these into a world war, with millions of dead and millions more negatively affected.
With the Treaty of Versailles, Europe went down the drain when their leaders decided to abandon the principle of Machiavellian "fairness", and impose an IMbalance of power de jure, and thereby creating a de facto reality which was the same as pre-1914. The security concerns of a neighbour was simply ignored. The NWO was dictated onto one of the neighbours (Versailles.) This an observation based on the facts.
Why was the situation of pre-1914 recreated post-1918 at Versailles? Machiavellian fairness was thrown out the window again when one of the powers was encroached upon by an "encirclement strategy." The first encirclement took place in stages starting in the 1890s, and continued following the year 1900. After WW1 the encirclement strategy was continued again; instead of a small number of large encircling powers, there were now (enabled by the Armistice and Versailles) a larger number of smaller encirclers. As in physics, every force creates a counterforce. The intention to "keep down/encircle" a neighbour, created an effect.
The observation today is therefore that Europeans will lose again, because after 1990 this marching onto the borders, encroaching on a neighbour, ignoring constantly repeated security issues, was continued. Only this time, the neighbour "encroached upon" with an encirclement strategy was Russia. The "morphed tools" now included all Central European nations, too blinded by narratives to unite in time to avoid their own "tool status" AGAIN.
As stated in the first paragraph, individuals can argue their own personal rights/wrongs until they are blue in the face, but it is not going to protect them from the harmful causal effects of the own systemic expansive aims as implemented by the strategists in the capital cities, or by the "friends" who employ them as tools, buffer zones, marching useful idiots/innocents, or otherwise, without "round table"-consent (aka Machiavellian concept of fairness).
Beware of bowing down to the narrative spinners and framers.
How the narrative is spun in order the create a smokescreen for the hidden aims and agendas, reveals the strategists and their ulterior motives, which are the same today as 100 and 125 years ago. History does not "start" with the REaction. It starts with the actions. Pity if one lives in countries collectively too blind to see.
