- Abstract
In the book "Nationale Geschichtspolitik" by Lena Mörike, the Treaty of Versailles is examined in school textbooks from Germany, France, Great Britain, and the USA. The author focuses on the portrayal of the delegates, the treaty clauses, the symbolic dimension of Versailles, the "war guilt clause," and the League of Nations. She notes that less importance was attributed to the peace treaty compared to the preceding World War. The author embeds her analysis in the context of the general memory culture of the four countries and calls for a multiperspective and contextualized portrayal in history books. However, it remains unclear whether she considers the Treaty of Versailles as successful or failed.
