Peace for a time

The Versailles conference which began one hundred years ago today probably created more problems than it solved. It should be remembered that officially the Great War was still on, although various armistices round the world had put an end to hostilities. There was therefore pressure to conclude peace agreements. (The fact that no surrender document had been signed to that date was something which Adolf Hitler was later to use.)
