The French Search for Security: An Elusive Goal between WWI & II Treaty of Versailles – crippling of Germany suppose to prevent war of revenge Collective security agreements tried to prevent German aggression by promise of collective action

Allied Reparations Commission Set-aside $33 billion Germany was supposed to pay (final payment made in 2010!!!!) Meant to cripple Germany for the foreseeable future

Occupation of the Ruhr Main center of German industry Move intended to allow France to dominate the Germany economy and…. Keep it weak by enforcing payments

Germany, England, France Locarno, Switzerland - 1925 Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy agree to existing boundaries between Germany and both France and Belgium Germany allowed into the League of Nations “Spirit of Locarno” produces a new and false sense of security Pictured, L-R: Stressemann, G., Chamberlain, A., Briand, A. Germany, England, France

Treaties with Poland, Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Yugoslavia Intent to create a network of defense alliances with Eastern Europe England unreliable, looking inward…. Tried to reinforce the faltering collective security system of the League of Nations

Kellogg-Briand Pact 1928 United States, France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy – and most of the rest of the world – denounce war as an instrument of foreign-policy Agreement again increased France’s false sense of security
