I feel as though the Treaty of Versailles was the most important political document of the 20th century because after this treaty a multitude of events occurred. Places such as Germany and Italy were left with a poor economy. Living in a poor economy can lessen the morale of a country which could lead to the uprising of fascist leaders. One example of this was Hitler; he ruled over in a dictatorship only because of the poor economy in Germany that left everyone in a seemingly state of depression. Hitler made an extreme impact on the world in a terrible matter; he tricked other countries and even imprisoned the jews just because the Jewishʻs economy was skyrocketing. The Jews were faced with new energies, new technologies and new resources which made the Germans jealous.
The Treaty of Versailles that arose after the war to end all wars set up the world for World War 2 due to the weak economy that left some countries in a crisis. With a weakened economy fascist leaders were able to rule over and they had the fight to bring justice back to their own country. Leaders were able to rise and conquer; however, places such as the Pacific and hawaiʻi were impacted horribly because of this treaty. This treaty meant that these small pacific islands were up for grabs and the bigger countries could claim it; which in the end left Hawaiʻi in a cultural shock as well as a time of lost Native identity because of the transfer of powers to the United States.. In the sense of hawaiʻi we were claimed by the United States; which in the end dragged us into World War 2. Works Cited: Akana, M. (2020). Interwar Years. Presentation, Kamehameha Schools.

The world did not learn from the war to end all wars; it instead lead to the rise of modern warfare. This new idea of modern warfare brought new resources to the table. People were developing more ways to kill their enemies. Aside from this the war lead to the death of many people and the transfer of diseases. However aside from this The Great War impacts our kahiau project as a result of the Treaty of Versailles. This treaty placed the blame all on Russia and since then the economy there has never been the same. This treaty leads to the discriminating acts done by other countries to Russia; Russia was cut off from things like trade. Although the economy in the city has become stronger over the past years, life in the country is still filled with poverty.
I agree that the Malthusian Flux Theory appears today in our modern world. We see it especially today in Hawaiʻi with the overpopulation of this island many people live in poverty. Our native people are living on the streets causing a loss in pride of culture and just plain indecency. We are slowly gaining back our once lost our native identity. However, on the other hand, we do owe some of the credit to both imperialism and colonization which both lead to poverty in general. Works Cited: Akana, M. (2020).
