proved women could handle demanding and dangerous jobs and gave women a sense of pride and
confidence. It also increased the respect for women in society. Therefore, female contributions to the
war effort helped win the right to vote in many countries.

23. ANS:
Possible response: Over 40 nations joined the League of Nations. They agreed to negotiate their
differences rather than resorting to war and to take common action against aggressor states. Though
the League became largely ineffective, it was a first step toward an international organization dedicated
to maintaining peace.

PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate REF: p. 838

OBJ: 26.4.2 Describe the issues faced by the delegates to the Paris Peace Conference.
STA: 12.2.10 TOP: League of Nations
24. ANS:
Possible response: Considering the political climate of Europe after the war, it was unlikely that any
treaty could create a lasting peace. Nations at the Paris Peace Conference had conflicting goals which
made it difficult to develop an agreement that would ensure peace. The war created political turmoil
when governments collapsed in Russia, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman empire. These
events caused the spread of radicalism, including communism. The provisions of the Treaty of
Versailles forced upon Germany created strong German resentment. This set the stage for future war
instead of cooperation.

OBJ: 26.4.3 Explain why many people were dissatisfied with the Treaty of Versailles and other
peace settlements. STA: 12.2.10 TOP: Treaty of Versailles
25. ANS:
Possible answer: Economic competition caused several European nations to distrust one another. In
turn, this mutual fear caused these countries to form alliances that later would pull them into war. For
example, Britain felt threatened by Germany’s economic growth. Germany felt threatened by the
strong navy Britain built to protect its colonial interests. Britain and Germany began a naval arms
race. Germany feared that the eventual industrialization of Russia would make it a difficult
competitor. France and Germany almost went to war over their colonial interests in Morocco, thus
strengthening ties between France and Britain.
