14. Four main points of the Treaty of Versailles (1919)
- War Guilt Clause (Article 231): Germany accepted responsibility for causing the war.
- Reparations: Germany was required to pay large financial compensation to the Allies.
- Territorial changes: Loss of territory and overseas colonies for Germany; borders redrawn and new states created in Europe.
- Military restrictions and demilitarization: German army and navy severely limited, Rhineland demilitarized, and Anschluss (union with Austria) forbidden.
15. Three class levels in the old Russian Empire (short descriptions)
Two common ways this is described:
A. Traditional “estates” model
- Nobility/aristocracy: Landowners, high-ranking officials and officers who dominated politics and society.
- Clergy: Orthodox Church hierarchy and parish clergy with religious authority and social influence.
- Peasantry: The vast rural majority (formerly serfs) who worked the land and had little political power.
B. More modern social division (late imperial period)
- Upper class/elite: Tsar, aristocracy, high bureaucracy and wealthy landowners.
- Middle class/intelligentsia: Merchants, professionals, teachers, and politically active intellectuals.
- Lower class/working masses: Industrial workers and the rural peasantry, who made up the bulk of the population and had the least power.
16. Major events leading to the execution of the Romanov family
- February 1917: Revolution forces Nicholas II to abdicate; the Romanovs are placed under house arrest.
- April–mid 1917: Family moved into internal exile (first Tobolsk) as political instability grows.
- October 1917: Bolsheviks seize power in Petrograd; civil war begins between Reds and Whites.
- Spring 1918: Family transferred to Yekaterinburg (Ipatiev House) under Bolshevik/ Ural Soviet custody.
- Summer 1918: White (anti-Bolshevik) forces advance toward Yekaterinburg; Bolshevik authorities fear the Romanovs would be freed and used as a rallying symbol.
- 17 July 1918: On orders from local Bolshevik authorities (approved by higher Bolshevik bodies), the Tsar, Tsarina, their five children and several retainers were executed by a Bolshevik firing squad in the basement of the Ipatiev House.
17. Name of Wilson’s plan and the organization it proposed
- Plan: The Fourteen Points (President Woodrow Wilson’s 1918 peace program).
- Organization proposed: The League of Nations.
- War Guilt Clause (Article 231): Germany accepted responsibility for causing the war.
