Also, quick overview of the Treaty of Versailles:

•Territorial Losses: Alsace-Lorraine, Saar, Rhineland, Sudetenland

•Military Losses: allowed only an army of 100,000 men; demilitarization of the Rhineland; no military airplanes, submarines, tanks, heavy artillery; navy only allowed a few small ships

•Financial Losses: Germany to pay $33 Billion (damage created by war, Allied war expenses)

•WAR GUILT CLAUSE: everything is Germany’s fault

Below you will find an article from Time Magazine  reviewing the reparations owed by Germany from WWI. The Germans finally paid off their debt on October 3, 2010. $33 billion in debt in 1919 equals $402 billion today!

WWII Movies

Some of you asked about WWII movies (or WWII era). I put a couple collages together of recommendations. Some are more SERIOUS and HISTORICALLY based than others. I actually have not watched all of these. So, I'm not an expert, nor do I take responsibility for anything depicted in these films.

First, I would personally recommend these two fantastic HBO series:

Band of Brothers follows an airborne unit throughout their experiences in WWII (this is the series you saw a clip from in which the American soldiers discovered/liberated a concentration camp).

It is AMAZING.

The Pacific is very well done too (also made by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan; they are currently working on a third series http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/hbo-developing-third-wwii-miniseries-413632 ).

Below you will find a couple more collages of WWII era films. I personally love Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List. Both are difficult to watch, especially Schindler's List. Both are graphic.

Disclaimer: Before watching any films, you should get your parents' permission. Many are rated R. I am not responsible for any of you choosing to watch films against your parents' wishes.
