History has a strange way of coming full circle. In 1871, after crushing France in the Franco-Prussian War, Germany chose the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles—the heart of French pride—to declare the birth of the German Empire. It was a massive insult. However, the French never forgot. Nearly 50 years later, after the end of World War I, France forced a defeated Germany to sign the Treaty of Versailles in that exact same room. This cycle of symbolic humiliation fueled a bitterness that would eventually lead to even greater conflict, proving that in geopolitics, the venue is often just as important as the treaty.
