Talk:Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Just a thought

So I see this problem on this page as well as many different references to it, in that Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles was a short clause accusing Germany of starting the war unprovoked and that Germany accepted this claim. I would post the text, but I'm not sure if it is considered public domain. A lot of what is discussed is contained in Part VIII of the Treaty, entitled Reparations. Article 231 was just the preface establishing Germany's guilt while Article VIII addressed a lot of what is contained in this article. I would change it myself, but I'm not very good with this whole editing deal and thought maybe a more experience user could do it. –Anonymous

According to article 231 the war started by Germany and her allies. Why has it been claimed that it blames the entire war on Germany? 65.185.190.240 21:57, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
