- More about After the Great War: Economic Warfare and the Promise of Peace in Paris 1919
The Paris Peace Conference of 1919 was a failure, leading to the Treaty of Versailles, which did not bring long-term peace with Germany. This book examines the struggles and successes of the conference, focusing on the role of economic warfare and the creation of the League of Nations. British delegate Lord Robert Cecil played a significant role in the conference, and his partnership with US President Woodrow Wilson forged a new, permanent international diplomatic organization. The book promotes a new understanding of these underappreciated internationalists in Paris, many of whom transitioned into leading the League of Nations even before the Peace Conference ended.

The Paris Peace Conference of 1919 was a significant event in the aftermath of the First World War, but it is often judged a failure due to the resulting Treaty of Versailles, which did not bring long-term peace with Germany. This book examines the struggles and successes of the conference, as delegates from around the world grappled with the economic, political, and humanitarian catastrophes overwhelming Europe in 1919. The book highlights the significant role of economic warfare at the Peace Conference and in the post-war settlement, with Lord Robert Cecil's partnership with US President Woodrow Wilson leading to the creation of the League of Nations, a new, permanent, international diplomatic organization with the power to create collective blockades against aggressive states. The book also promotes a new understanding of these underappreciated internationalists in Paris, many of whom transitioned into leading the League of Nations even before the Peace Conference ended. The Treaty of Versailles, signed at the end of June 1919, appeared a realistic possibility when it was signed, with international peace enforced by economic sanctions.
