Excerpt from Oppressed Peoples and the League of Nations
Buoyed up during the four terrible years of the War with the promise of a better world, Europe found itself disillusioned at its close with the realisation, in many respects, of a worse. The Versailles Settlement wrought ruin on Central Europe, injured its productive capacities, and reduced its peoples to semi-starvation. Russia, prostrate from prolonged participation in the Great War, followed by internal revolution, was invaded by her former Allies. Hunger stalked over a great part of the continent of Europe, while the policy of the Allies was such that vast markets were ruled out of our economic system. Among the victors disquieting symptoms appeared that boded ill for the future; the apportionment of the spoils of War in Africa, in the Middle East, in China, and in the Pacific, provided fresh causes of discord between the leading Powers.
