Why didn't the Treaty of Versailles lay the foundations for a lasting peace?
The Treaty of Versailles established nine new nations which included Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia, and also shifted the boundaries of other nations.

It also made Germany return the region of Alsace-Lorraine to France and to pay for war damages to the Allies. Because the treaty had several flaws, it was weakened and eventually would lead to the Second World War because of its international problems.
