Bab 583: Chapter 156, The Inevitable Gold Standard Reform

This world will forever have its victors and its vanquished.

The biggest losers of the London Peace Conference, without a doubt, were the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Poland. The former lost cities and territories and was exhausted to the point of near collapse, while the latter even sacrificed its sovereignty.
