Sovereignty at the peace conference that sought to end the Great War of 1914-1918 has long been considered a solved historical problem. Nation-states and empires, we have long believed, simply reasserted their interests and identities much as they had in the 19th century, with disastrous results that led to World War II. Yet the radicalization of international political culture as a result of the Great War would not so easily be contained once peacemaking began.
