3) how did the PPC lead to WWII?
Many discussions about certain land claims have been discussed in the league of nations without having many parties consent, adding more tensions and hatred between newlyade countries and countries who had theirnland taken away from them, as well as the very harsh reparations against germany by france and the council lead to built up hate towards the allied nations and with all these built up hatred. Led to the rise of single authoritarian states that wanted their land claims and resources back such as nazism and facism. Which led to world war 2. In 1939

The Paris Peace Conference was the meeting of the Allied victors of World War I to decide the fate of the defeated nations and determine the peace settlements between the Allies and the Central Powers. Twenty-seven nations, including Japan who later walked out of the conference, came to the conference at Paris in January of 1919. The matters at hand were mainly decided by conferences among the Big Four which included Woodrow Wilson for the United States, David Lloyd George for England, Georges Clemenceau for France, and Vittorio Orlando for Italy. The conclusions drawn from the conferences of the Big Four created the consequences for the defeated countries. Despite their cooperation in the war, the different allies did not want to cooperate in some of the peace settlements. All the leaders were primarily motivated by the national interest of their countries leading to disagreements which required compromise.
Britain’s aims in the conference were primarily based on maintaining their own security, unity, and interests. Britain’s main goals included ensuring the security of France, punishing Germany and taking away its threat, accepting the League of Nations, and settling territorial disputes in a favorable and secure method for the British Empire. Britain expressed a willingness to follow Wilson’s proposed Fourteen Points, as long as one key reservation was met. The British vetoed the freedom of the seas “in peace and war” because of fear of a German rivalry and the work put in during the war to preserve their command of the sea. Wilson made the necessary concessions to the Allies in order to obtain the League of Nations, but the League was created with the support of Britain. Disagreements also arose when determining the consequences the treaty would enforce upon Germany. The British wanted to obtain certainty in their security against Germany, but also did not want to cause German resentment by trimming Germany down in size and making the part of Germany west of the Rhine as independent as the French proposed. However, the British did want Germany to pay war reparations. Britain agreed with France on this issue and proposed to charge Germany with all of the expenses, including war pensions, incurred during the war.

How did the POC lead to WW2?
The PPC lead to WWII mainly due to the sheer amounts of debts implement after that. The factors such as the restraints on Germany, as they had to pay a huge debt for the war, the fall of the economy, which is a result of the Great Depression, made for a bad atmosphere in Gernamy.
This atmosphere made the Germans more nationalistic and allowed for extremists such as the Nazis to gain support and power. For instance, the restraints in Germany made many people salve for work and become depressed. The Nazi's seemed to be a solution for that. The fall of the economy made the European powers more into isolationism and didn't keep a watchful eye on Germany as they were too preoccupied with their own troubles.
Overall, these circumstances eventually allowed for WW2 to commence
