📚 Cambridge IGCSE History Core Content: International Relations since 1919 | 剑桥 IGCSE 历史核心知识梳理：1919 年以来的国际关系
This revision guide covers the Core Content option 'International Relations since 1919' in the Cambridge IGCSE History syllabus (0470). It consolidates the key facts, causes and consequences you need for source-based and essay questions, from the Paris Peace Conference to the Cold War.
本复习指南覆盖剑桥 IGCSE 历史（0470）核心内容中的“1919 年以来的国际关系”专题。它系统梳理从巴黎和会到冷战的关键史实、原因与影响，帮助你应对史料题与论文题。
1. How to Use This Guide | 如何使用本指南
Two papers matter most here. Paper 1 tests the Core Content through structured questions, while Paper 2 tests your ability to evaluate sources in a depth study. This option covers six enquiry questions: were the peace treaties fair, was the League of Nations a success, why had peace collapsed by 1939, who was to blame for the Cold War, how effectively did the USA contain communism, and how secure was Soviet control of Eastern Europe.
这里最关键的是两份试卷。Paper 1 通过结构化问题考查核心内容，Paper 2 则考查你在深度研究专题中评估史料的能力。本专题包含六个探究问题：和约是否公平、国际联盟是否成功、1939 年和平为何崩溃、谁应为冷战负责、美国遏制共产主义的效果如何，以及苏联对东欧的控制有多牢固。
Use this guide as a framework, not as a substitute for your textbook. For every event, be able to state three things: what happened, why it happened, and how far it mattered. Examiners reward precise dates, named treaties and clear judgements supported by evidence.
请把本指南当作框架，而不是教科书的替代品。对每一个事件，你都要能说清三件事：发生了什么、为什么发生、影响有多大。考官看重精确的日期、具体的条约名称，以及有证据支撑的明确判断。
2. The Paris Peace Conference and the Big Three | 巴黎和会与三巨头
The Paris Peace Conference opened in January 1919. Germany and its allies were not allowed to negotiate, so the settlement was effectively a 'diktat' - a dictated peace. Thirty-two countries attended, but the real decisions were made by the 'Big Three', whose aims conflicted from the start.
巴黎和会于 1919 年 1 月开幕。德国及其盟国被排除在谈判之外，因此这一和约实质上是一份“强制和约”（diktat）。共有三十二个国家出席，但真正的决定由“三巨头”作出，而他们的目标从一开始就相互冲突。
- Georges Clemenceau (France): demanded a harsh settlement to weaken Germany permanently, return Alsace-Lorraine, secure the Rhineland and gain heavy reparations, because France had suffered the most invasion.
- Woodrow Wilson (USA): pushed for the Fourteen Points, national self-determination, free trade and above all a League of Nations to keep the peace collectively.
- David Lloyd George (Britain): wanted Germany punished but not destroyed, fearing that a ruined Germany would turn to communism and would stop buying British goods; he also wanted to protect the British Empire.
- 法国克里孟梭：要求严惩德国以永久削弱它，收回阿尔萨斯—洛林、控制莱茵兰并索取巨额赔款，因为法国遭受的入侵最为严重。
- 美国总统威尔逊：力推“十四点”原则、民族自决、自由贸易，最重要的是建立国际联盟以集体维护和平。
- 英国劳合·乔治：希望惩罚德国但不要将其摧毁，担心崩溃的德国会倒向共产主义、并无力购买英国商品；他同时想保护大英帝国利益。
3. The Treaty of Versailles: Terms and Impact | 《凡尔赛条约》：条款与影响
The Treaty of Versailles was signed on 28 June 1919. Its terms fell into four areas: guilt, reparations, disarmament and territory. Article 231, the 'war guilt clause', forced Germany to accept full responsibility for the war - a humiliation that fuelled resentment for a generation.
《凡尔赛条约》于 1919 年 6 月 28 日签署，条款可分为四个领域：罪责、赔款、裁军与领土。第 231 条即“战争罪责条款”，迫使德国承担战争的全部责任，这一屈辱在此后一代人中不断激起怨恨。
- Reparations: set at 132 billion gold marks in 1921, to be paid in money and goods.
- Disarmament: army limited to 100,000 men, no conscription, no tanks, no aircraft, no submarines, only six battleships, and the Rhineland demilitarised.
- Territory: Alsace-Lorraine returned to France, the Polish Corridor and Posen went to Poland, Danzig became a Free City, the Saar was run by the League for 15 years, and all German colonies became mandates.
- Union with Austria (Anschluss) was forbidden.
- 赔款：1921 年定为 1320 亿金马克，可用货币和实物支付。
- 裁军：陆军限制为 10 万人，禁止征兵，不得拥有坦克、飞机和潜艇，仅保留六艘战列舰，莱茵兰实现非军事化。
- 领土：阿尔萨斯—洛林归还法国，波兰走廊与波森划归波兰，但泽成为自由市，萨尔由国联管理 15 年，德国全部殖民地变为委任统治地。
- 禁止与奥地利合并（Anschluss）。
German reactions were furious. Politicians denounced the 'Versailles diktat' and the 'war guilt clause', while right-wing groups spread the 'stab in the back' myth that the army had been betrayed by civilians. When Germany failed to pay in 1923, French and Belgian troops occupied the Ruhr, triggering hyperinflation that wiped out savings.
德国的反应极为愤怒。政客们谴责“凡尔赛强制和约”与“战争罪责条款”，右翼团体则散布“背后捅刀”神话，声称军队是被平民出卖的。1923 年德国无力赔款，法比军队占领鲁尔，引发恶性通货膨胀，民众储蓄化为乌有。
4. The Other Peace Treaties and the New Map of Europe | 其他和约与欧洲新地图
Versailles was only one of five settlements. Together they redrew the map of Europe, dismantled the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires, and created new states such as Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Poland - but they also left millions of German speakers inside foreign borders.
《凡尔赛条约》只是五份和约之一。它们共同重绘了欧洲地图，瓦解了奥匈帝国与奥斯曼帝国，建立了捷克斯洛伐克、南斯拉夫和波兰等新国家，但也把数百万德语人口留在外国边界之内。
| Treaty | 条约 | Year | 年份 | Country | 对象国 | Key Terms | 主要条款 |
|---|---|---|---|
| St Germain | 1919 | Austria 奥地利 | Recognised Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia; army limited to 30,000; no Anschluss. 承认匈、捷、南独立；陆军限 3 万人；禁止德奥合并。 |
| Neuilly | 1919 | Bulgaria 保加利亚 | Lost territory to Greece, Yugoslavia and Romania; army limited to 20,000; reparations of 100 million pounds. 割地予希腊、南斯拉夫、罗马尼亚；陆军限 2 万人；赔款 1 亿英镑。 |
| Trianon | 1920 | Hungary 匈牙利 | Lost two-thirds of its territory and about 60 per cent of its population. 失去约三分之二领土与约 60% 人口。 |
| Sèvres | 1920 | Ottoman Empire 奥斯曼帝国 | Lost Middle Eastern lands; Smyrna to Greece; Straits internationalised. 失去中东属地；士麦那归希腊；海峡国际化。 |
| Lausanne | 1923 | Turkey 土耳其 | Replaced Sèvres after Turkish nationalist victory; Smyrna and East Thrace recovered. 土耳其实民族主义者胜利后取代《色佛尔条约》，收回士麦那与东色雷斯。 |
Sèvres collapsed because Mustafa Kemal's nationalists refused to accept it and drove Greek forces out of Anatolia. Lausanne therefore showed that a treaty could be revised by force - a lesson not lost on Hitler.
《色佛尔条约》之所以失败，是因为凯末尔的民族主义者拒绝接受，并把希腊军队逐出安纳托利亚。因此，《洛桑条约》表明条约可以被武力改写——这一教训希特勒心知肚明。
5. Were the Peace Treaties Fair? | 和约公平吗？
Arguments that the treaties were fair stress that Germany had caused enormous destruction and that some settlement was unavoidable. Germany was not occupied, was left as a single state, and paid far less in real terms than the reparations figures suggested.
认为和约公平的论据强调：德国造成了巨大破坏，任何形式的清算都不可避免；德国并未被占领，仍保留为统一国家，且实际支付的赔款远少于账面数字。
Arguments that the treaties were unfair are stronger for many historians. Germany had no say in the terms, the war guilt clause was one-sided, self-determination was applied to defeated states but not to German speakers, and the reparations burden destabilised the new Weimar Republic.
但在许多历史学家看来，认为和约不公平的论据更有力：德国对条款毫无发言权，战争罪责条款是单方面的，民族自决只适用于战败国却不适用于德语人口，赔款负担则动摇了新生的魏玛共和国。
Questions about the peace treaties were not settled in 1919. A large part of the whole course - the rise of Hitler, the failure of the League and the collapse of peace in 1939 - can be explained as consequences of a settlement that satisfied nobody completely.
和约问题并未在 1919 年得到解决。整门课程的很大一部分——希特勒的崛起、国联的失败与 1939 年和平的
