Description
The six months that changed the world. In June 1919, Paris became the epicentre of global politics as leaders from around the globe converged for the Peace Conference. Woodrow Wilson, Lloyd George and Clemenceau led the three great powers, but it was a crowded room - kings, prime ministers, foreign ministers, journalists and lobbyists all had business in Paris that year. The peacemakers' goals were ambitious: to create new countries, prevent another war and establish a world order based on democracy and reason. However, their efforts were hampered by impossible nationalist dreams, the spread of Bolshevism and the need to balance competing interests. Margaret MacMillan argues that the peacemakers have unfairly been made scapegoats for the mistakes of those who came later. This book offers a fresh perspective on the moment when much of the modern world was first sketched out.
