		Versailles was still the most richly-appointed royal palace of Europe, however, until a long series of auction sales on the premises unrolled for months during the Revolution, emptying Versailles slowly of every shred of amenity, at derisory prices, mostly to professional brocanteurs.

		Signed on June 28, 1919, by Germany on the one hand and by the Allies (save Russia) on the other, the Treaty of Versailles embodied the results of the long and often bitter negotiations of the Paris Peace Conference of 1919.
		Among the chief causes of Allied dissension was Wilson's refusal to recognize the secret agreements reached by the Allies in the course of the war; Italy's refusal to forgo the territorial gains promised (1915) by the secret Treaty of London; and French insistence on the harsh treatment of Germany.
		The treaty formally placed the responsibility for the war on Germany and its allies and imposed on Germany the burden of the reparations payments.

	The Treaty of Versailles (1919)

		The irony lay in the fact that all reparations were ended in 1932 in the wake of the world economic depression while a country like Britain was still paying her financial debts to the U.S. as late as the 1960s.
		The treaty was forced upon the reluctant German government under threat of continuing the war against an exhausted Germany and signed into law on June 28, 1919, five years to the day after the event that triggered the war in the first place--the assassination at Sarajevo.
