The Failure of Collective Security 1919–36
Chapter
Abstract
The Versailles Settlement was followed by only twenty years of European peace. It left a series of grievances outstanding which stimulated nationalist resentments and rivalries. The inter-war economic situation exaggerated political reactions and condemned the democracy and constitutionalism necessary for a lasting settlement. In the last resort, the Settlement failed because it had no adequate guarantees.
