Title: After Versailles


1
After Versailles
  • The 1920s

2
  • In this part of the course we will look at how
    British Foreign Policy adjusted to the new world.
  • It is important to remember that between 1918 and
    1930 the British government changed several times
  • 1919-1922 Coalition government led by Lloyd
    George
  • 1922-1923 Conservative led by Bonar Law
  • May 1923-Jan 1924 Conservative Stanley Baldwin
  • Jan 1924-Nov 1924 Labour led by Ramsey Macdonald
  • Nov 1924-June 1929 Conservative led by Stanley
    Baldwin
  • June 1929-Aug 1931 Labour led by Ramsey Macdonald
  • How could these changes affect British foreign
    policy?

  • We must focus on these questions in the next
    couple of weeks
  • To what extent, and why, did Britain seek to
    soften the impact of the Treaty of Versailles in
    its relations with Germany during the 1920s?
  • In what ways, and with what success, did
    successive British Governments seek to promote
    disarmament and international harmony during the
    1920s?
  • A study of British foreign policy in the 1920s
    suggests that British governments increasingly
    accepted the need for the treaty of Versailles to
    be amended in Germanys favour. How far do you
    agree with this opinion?
