Armistice
Reparations
Collective security
Distinguish an armistice, reparations, and collective security. Why does an end to fighting answer a different question from whether a peace settlement could prevent another conflict?
Read the situation.
The 11 November 1918 armistice ended fighting on the Western Front; it was not the same document as the later peace treaties. The Treaty of Versailles was signed on 28 June 1919 and concerned Germany. Other treaties addressed other defeated powers. The postwar settlement changed borders, military arrangements, financial obligations, and international institutions.

What does the evidence show?
Outcomes of World War I
03 Follow the evidence.
Could collective security work?
Claim: “The organization’s design alone guarantees effective action.”
Select all records that directly show how the organization operated during a crisis.
Records of member participation and actual decisions during a crisis.
Evidence about enforcement capacity and willingness to carry out agreed measures.
The covenant states a peacekeeping purpose without reporting a particular crisis response.
A founder predicts that members will cooperate, before any crisis has tested the arrangement.
Name the useful records and explain how they answer the claim.
04 Apply the idea.
Whose peace?
A proposed border is accepted by negotiating governments, but residents in the affected area submit conflicting petitions.
What should the review include?
The agreement and the varied local claims, with evidence about participation and consequences.
Only the governments’ signatures, because residents have no relevant experience.
A claim that every local resident has the same view.
Choose a conclusion and explain why it fits the situation.
05 Carry the idea forward.
Write a peace-table review distinguishing thearmistice from the settlement. Evaluate one term or institution against its aim, identify evidence needed for effectiveness, and avoid treating later conflict as inevitable.
