How far do you agree with the view that the peace treaty of Versailles lease led to the rise of Nazism in Germany
Answers
Regulating services can reduce people's exposure to natural hazards such as floods, fire and droughts. The Sundarbans World Heritage Site has been selected to highlight the important benefits that mangrove ecosystems deliver as a result of natural hazard regulation. Inhabiting estuaries and inter-tidal zones, mangroves provide vital ecological stability by delivering protection against erosion, providing buffer zones and reducing flooding– thereby contributing to coastal protection (Colette, 2007; FAO, 2014). It is anticipated that coastal zones, such as the Sundarbans, will become increasingly prone to natural disasters as the results of climate change intensify (Agrawala et al., 2003). Increased exposure to natural hazards amplify the vulnerability of World Heritage Sites by increasing the chances that key ecosystems, listed for having Outstanding Universal Value, will be changed, degraded or destroyed (UNESCO et al., 2010).
Explanation:
The Treaty of Versailles, signed in June 1919 at the Palace of Versailles in Paris at the end of World War I, codified peace terms between the victorious Allies and Germany. The Treaty of Versailles held Germany responsible for starting the war and imposed harsh penalties in terms of loss of territory, massive reparations payments and demilitarization. Far from the “peace without victory” that U.S. President Woodrow Wilson had outlined in his famous Fourteen Points in early 1918, the Treaty of Versailles humiliated Germany while failing to resolve the underlying issues that had led to war in the first place. Economic distress and resentment of the treaty within Germany helped fuel the ultra-nationalist sentiment that led to the rise of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party, as well as the coming of a World War II just two decades later.
