Making a conclusion, it's important to note that despite all attempts of W. Wilson, his fourteen points were not ratified. France and Great Britain could not confess that their colonial systems were doomed to collapse, so reparations of Weimar Germany were provisional panacea for their economies. Political instability and further social revolution was apparent from the first days of the Weimar Republic: strikes, workers movements, crisis and depression were evidence that people were not satisfied with the conditions of life and they were ready to act. Peace treaties signed after WWI only created fertile soil for revenge and new war. S. Tucker writes, that unofficial outbreak of
Hitler's militarism only proved it.
