Shortly after World War I ended, some complained that the Versailles Treaty did nothing more than declare a truce for twenty years. Their assumptions proved correct when the unstable peace agreements and cooperation that had been established at the Paris Peace Conference were broken. Although U. S. President Woodrow Wilson had declared that the Great War was "the war to end all wars," in less than twenty years after it began in 1914, many nations had entered a second, devastating conflict. Due to the greater number of casualties, physical destruction, and tragedies, World War II often eclipses the memory of the First World War.

According to this excerpt, the Treaty of Versailles

According to this excerpt, the Treaty of Versailles failed and was on of the causes of WWII.

Explanation:

It is not said in this excerpt but the Treaty of Versailles put the blame for the war on Germany. It basically limited Germany's military and told Germany they had to take full responsibility of the war and try to fix all the damage. Obviously this upset the people of Germany. It was also there reason why Hitler came to power. He did this by making promises to the people of Germany that he would basically "free" Germany from the Treaty and its harsh rules. So although many thought by making the treaty so harsh on Germany would stop any future wars, it did the opposite.

since most of current immigration into the u.s., both legal and illegal, is coming from latin america. it would be very difficult to imagine or rationalize a country my fellow citizens are trying desperately to flee into, would pose a threat to my prosperity or freedom. since the u.s. has a long history of intervention, but no record of permanent occupation, i would not feel oppression is the main objective.  

the largest free trade nation, along with the largest gdp in the world wanting to expand it's economic policy on us, and including us, could only be positive. the u.s. government has no interest in, or way of simply forcing american culture on us. and has no track record of it. other nations that adopted american social culture, or "americanization" did so voluntarily, mainly through the choice of allowing american businesses and u.s. citizens to come into their nations, as free operatives.
