Professor David Stevenson challenged some of the long held myths about the Treaty of Versailles. The British for instance were not always the good guys in the middle. Many aspects of the Treaty were soft rather than harsh. On the other hand the treaty was much harsher than the Germans had expected when they signed the 1918 Armistice. Professor Stevenson was also able to show how the Russian Civil War affected the deliberations of the Allies.
