The international disorder created by World War I, the U.S.
intervention, and the Paris Peace Conference continues to exact a
staggering toll. About 3 years ago, I was absolutely startled when I
read:
"On 7 June [1918] he [the Kaiser] 'emphatically endorsed'
incor****ating Georgia in the Reich ..." [Michael Balfour, "The Kaiser
and his Times," Houghton Mifflin (1964) p.390]
I was not aware that the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk gave the Germans
control of Transcaucasia. How was this incor****ation going to be
accomplished? Was this an annexation? I would appreciate any
information.
