Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.75 Treaty of Versailles and Postwar Settlements skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A historian argues that the peace settlements reshaped the world but also left unresolved tensions. Which cause-and-effect pairing best supports that claim?

ACause: the settlements changed nothing; Effect: all countries returned peacefully to the 1914 order.

BCause: the settlements solved every national and colonial claim; Effect: no interwar tensions remained.

CCause: the settlements redrew borders, created mandates, and built the League while imposing penalties on defeated powers; Effect: they reorganized international politics but left grievances that later leaders could exploit.

DCause: the settlements abolished diplomacy; Effect: international institutions disappeared after World War I.

Solution & Explanation:The settlement changed maps and institutions, but it did not settle all claims. Later leaders exploited grievances over borders, reparations, mandates, and unequal enforcement.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which pairing best demonstrates strong historical reasoning about postwar settlements?

ACause: every treaty term had only one simple effect; Effect: historians never consider unintended consequences.

BCause: leaders had no goals at all; Effect: all borders were random and meaningless.

CCause: only one country mattered in the settlement; Effect: mandates, new states, and the League can be ignored.

DCause: leaders made decisions for specific purposes such as security, compensation, and self-determination; Effect: those decisions also produced unintended grievances, minority issues, and institutional weaknesses.

Solution & Explanation:Good cause-and-effect reasoning explains both intended goals and unintended results. The postwar settlement must be analyzed across borders, institutions, mandates, and political reactions.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the concept map showing security, punishment, self-determination, and empire. Which cause-and-effect pairing best synthesizes the settlement's contradictions?

ACause: every peace goal supported every other goal perfectly; Effect: no compromise was necessary.

BCause: peacemakers tried to satisfy goals that sometimes conflicted; Effect: treaty terms created a new order that contained unresolved tensions from the start.

CCause: peacemakers pursued only colonial independence; Effect: mandates were never part of the settlement.

DCause: defeated powers controlled the concept map; Effect: Allied security was ignored completely.

Solution & Explanation:The settlement combined goals that could work against each other. Security, punishment, self-determination, and imperial interests produced compromises with unintended consequences.
