The Peace Negotiations: A Personal Narrative
E-text prepared by Jonathan Ingram, Debra Storr, and Prooject Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders
"The Peace Negotiations: A Personal Narrative" by Robert Lansing is a historical account likely written during the early 20th century, reflecting on significant events surrounding the aftermath of World War I and the Treaty of Versailles. The narrative is provided from Lansing’s perspective as Secretary of State, who was directly involved in the peace negotiations and offers insights into the complexities and disagreements he had with President Woodrow Wilson regarding the formation of the League of Nations and the broader peace settlement. The opening of the text introduces Lansing's rationale for documenting his personal experiences during the Paris Peace Conference. He recounts the growing divisions between himself and President Wilson as the negotiations unfolded, elaborating on the state of their relationship and the decisions that ultimately led to his resignation. Lansing expresses his intention to clarify the differences of opinion that existed, particularly on key subjects such as the League of Nations and issues surrounding territorial guaranties. This prelude sets up an exploration of the intricate political dynamics at play during a pivotal moment in modern history, positioning the narrative not just as a memoir but as a vital historical commentary.
