League vs Weimar – Atlantic Alliance vs ‘Weimar Russia’

ABSTRACTED PARAGRAPH

In history writing, it is still an open secret that an increasingly self-asserted Pretoria would not let loose from the wartime goal of outright annexation. With Smuts in Europe from early 1917 until the summer of 1919, this goal was pursued at the cost of the novel League of Nation's principles. With the mutually acceptable conditions of the 1918 ceasefire in mind, this meant putting any lasting peace settlement at risk. Obviously, this differs from narratives that most of us have been led to believe. Smuts was supposed to rule the self-created C-mandate on the north-western border on behalf of the international organisation termed League. In Weimar Germany's multifaceted crisis year of 1923, his naturalisation plan would be submitted to its British Secretary General (A. Wempe, Revenants of the German Empire, p. 96-102).
