VERSAILLES VAMPIRE CARTOON


From the German newspaper Kladderadatsch (July 1919)
The figure lying on the bed represents Germany.    Clemenceau was Prime Minister of France in 1919.    He is shown as a vampire sucking the blood out of Germany.

How useful is this source to an historian studying the impact of the Treaty of Versailles on Germany in 1919?

 

HINT: Link what you SEE in the cartoon to what YOU KNOW about Germany in 1919.
