Hi there, my name is Zach Twomney and you're about to listen to the latest episode of the Versailles Anniversary Project,

a project coming to you because I am able to spend so much flaming time on history such as this.

If you like your history very, very detailed, looking at different personalities, different diplomatic dealings,

an awful lot of scheming, intriguing, and of course, as I said, all the

idles of detail that you could expect to get from a project as ambitious in scope as one

which looks at Versailles, then yes, you've come to the right place. When diplomacy fails,

since I eventually got into my groove, has always been about the detail and about giving you the inside story on things which are often just glossed over in textbooks in a few sentences or so.

The Paris Peace Conference made the Treaty of Versailles, the Treaty of Versailles became World War II and job done.

But as we've learned, that is not the case. And as we've also learned,

there's an awful lot to this story, which deserves to be known because it's so interesting,

so fascinating, and in many respects, entertaining. It also informs a lot of what people

should know about this era and gives context to a lot of the things that came later on.

I've really been enjoying this coverage. And if you have two, then make sure you tell someone.

The best way to make this podcast get out there more is by telling people about it.

Word of mouth, the personal recommendation, is still the best way you can support this podcast,

and it costs you absolutely nothing.

But all you have to do really is remember B-Fit to remember the best way to support, get in contact

with and inquire about this podcast.

B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-Festate, which you can, of course, find fairly easily.
