OT, kinda
Hi Folks!
Please forgive me if this is off topic, but we frequently mention the Treaty of Versailles and I doubt many folks have had the opportunity to actually read it So here is a link to the complete text of the treaty, and some other links I think folks might find of interest. If nothing else, these all set the historical milieu in which the Parabellum pistol was used. The following are all Great War links, with the exception of the last one. The last is, in some waysmore horrifying than any of the others as it brings war down to the individual level. These are excerpts from letters from the German troops abandoned in Stalingrad. Think of it as last words of a forlorn hope... Best, Kyrie Complete contents of the Versailles Treaty, along with WWI maps, charts, photos, cartoons, and links to related resources. http://history.acusd.edu/gen/text/versaillestreaty/vercontents.html The Austro-Hungarian Ultimatum to Serbia http://www.lib.byu.edu/~rdh/wwi/1914/austro-hungarian-ultimatum.html The Serbian Response to the Austro-Hungarian Ultimatum http://www.lib.byu.edu/~rdh/wwi/1914/serbresponse.html â??Willy/Nickyâ? telegrams http://www.lib.byu.edu/~rdh/wwi/1914/willynilly.html Zimmerman note to Mexico http://www.lib.byu.edu/~rdh/wwi/1917/zimmerman.html Great War document archive http://www.lib.byu.edu/~rdh/wwi/191?.html replace the ? with 4 - 8 to complete the year Detailed chronology of the Great War's main events http://www.rockingham.k12.va.us/EMS/WWI/WWI.html last letters from Stalingrad http://www.icon-stl.net/~jdesloge/warlttrs.html |
