Notes from Ashura's presentation:

A peace settlement was made in Russian Revolution
The settlement was signed near Paris at the Versailles Palace
Types of treaty: military territorial, financial, general
Military means mostly related to armies
Territorial has something to do with taking over lands
Financial (economic)
General means about everything
Germany had no choice
They had to sign the treaty
They were given 2 choices: sign the treaty or let other countries invade Germany.
The treaty of Versailles was a peace treaty that was signed by Germany, UK, France, Italy and many other countries
It was signed on June 28 1919
David Lloyd George and Woodrow Wilson wanted Germany to be punished.

Nah. Sorry.

We are finishing out battlefield model..........

Of Battle of Liege...

And at last, we're done! Yay!
Yet, I did some research about Battle of Liege.

Battle of Liege was the opening engagement of the German invasion of Belgium and the first battle of World War I.
Date: 4-16 August 1914.
First battle of WWI.
Germany was outnumbered by Belgium.
Belgium was neutral and had a treaty with Britain. So, it brought Britain to the war.
Germany entered Belgium to attack France from north.
Germany used the Schlieffen Plan
Schlieffen Plan was the German General Staff's early 20th-century overall strategic plan for victory in a possible future war with France to the West and Russia to the East.
The plan took advantage of Russia's slowness.
Try to defeat France quickly.
Then rushing to the East to defeat Russia.
Schlieffen Plan was created by Alfred von Schlieffen.
