Excerpt from Europe Since 1918

It was not intended that they should be carr1ed out. But the new forces set loose were too strong to control. Peoples all '_overlthe world clamored for rights and privileges that it was the purpose to grant only to peoples that had been subject to the vanquished powers. To this cause of confusion, unrest, conspiracy, and open rebel lion, were added the falling out of the victors over the spoils of war and the determination of France and some of the smaller nations to apply the law of retaliation to their now defenseless oppressors.
