Asia After Versailles addresses an important watershed for Asian nations - the response to the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. It marked the end of a conflict which, although intrinsically European, had globalized the world on many levels and stood at the beginning of a new order that saw the power centre shift towards the US and Asia.

Paris 1919. Politiker und Diplomaten stehen vor einer Aufgabe, der sich noch keine Generation zuvor stellen musste: die Schaffung einer globalen Friedensordnung nach dem Ende eines Krieges, der erstmals die ganze Welt erfasste. Für die Liberalen am Verhandlungstisch war das Ziel ein Frieden im Zeichen freier Selbstbestimmung demokratischer Nationen. US-Präsident Wilson hatte es verkündet. Die Anhänger der traditionellen Großmachtpolitik hingegen wollten vor allem Entschädigungen für die eigenen Opfer. Und Lenins Bolschewiki propagierten den Weltfrieden durch die Diktatur des Proletariats. Die Vielzahl der Kriegsparteien und Fragen der nationalen "Ehre" erschwerten die Verhandlungen, die sich bis 1923 hinzogen. Von der Glaubwürdigkeit der Friedensbedingungen für Sieger und Besiegte aber hing die Haltbarkeit des Friedens ab. So quellennah wie nötig und so knapp wie möglich veranschaulicht Klaus Schwabe Verhandler und Verhandlungen, die alliierte, deutsche und weltweite Dimension des Versailler Vertragswerkes und bewertet es neu, indem er die Leistungen und bis heute nachwirkenden Konsequenzen dieses Friedensschlusses herausstellt: Versailles musste nicht von vornherein scheitern.

"Between January and July 1919, after "the war to end all wars," men and women from around the world converged on Paris to shape the peace. Center stage, for the first time in history, was an American president, Woodrow Wilson, who with his Fourteen Points seemed to promise to so many people the fulfillment of their dreams. Stern, intransigent, impatient when it came to security concerns and wildly idealistic in his dream of a League of Nations that would resolve all future conflict peacefully, Wilson is only one of the larger-than-life characters who fill the pages of this extraordinary book. David Lloyd George, the gregarious and wily British prime minister, brought Winston Churchill and John Maynard Keynes. Lawrence of Arabia joined the Arab delegation. Ho Chi Minh, a kitchen assistant at the Ritz, submitted a petition for an independent Vietnam. For six months, Paris was effectively the center of the world as the peacemakers carved up bankrupt empires and created new countries. This book brings to life the personalities, ideals, and prejudices of the men who shaped the settlement. They pushed Russia to the sidelines, alienated China, and dismissed the Arabs. They struggled with the problems of Kosovo, of the Kurds, and of a homeland for the Jews. The peacemakers, so it has been said, failed dismally; above all they failed to prevent another war. Margaret MacMillan argues that they have unfairly been made the scapegoats for the mistakes of those who came later. She refutes received ideas about the path from Versailles to World War II and debunks the widely accepted notion that reparations imposed on the Germans were in large part responsible for the Second World War"--Dust jacket flap.
