Abstract

Svrha ovoga rada bilo je kritički prikazati uzroke uvođenja nacionalsocijalističke diktature u Njemačkoj i propasti liberalnog međunarodnog poretka pod Ligom naroda u kontekstu takozvane “velike debate” realizma i liberalnog idealizma. Stoga, u radu su prikazani povijesni događaji koji su proizašli kao posljedica Versajskog mirovnog ugovora i koji daju novi uvid u povezanost liberalnog idealizma sa širenjem ekstremne desnice u Njemačkoj. Nadalje, takvi događaji opisuju političku klimu u kojoj se na našla Njemačka nakon Prvog svjetskog rata, a koja je bila daleko od anglo-saksonske percepcije međunarodnih odnosa koja je beskrajno vjerovala u razum, a ignorirala stvarne interese nacionalnih država. Služeći se kritikom realista u radu se zaključuje kako je politika moći sastavni dio ljudske prirode i svakog naroda. Preciznije, kako su također SAD, Francuska i Velika Britanija, odnosno kreatori Versajskog mirovnog sporazuma, promovirali kolektivnu sigurnost, a u pozadini se vodili vlastitim (imperijalnim) interesima.

Abstract (english)

The purpose of this paper was to critically present the causes of the establishment of Nazism in Germany and the collapse of the liberal international order under the League of Nations in the context of the so-called "great debate" between realism and liberal idealism. Therefore, the paper presents the historical events that resulted from the Treaty of Versailles and that give new insight into the connection between liberal idealism and the spread of the extreme right in Germany. Furthermore, such events describe the political climate in which Germany found itself after the First World War, which was far from the Anglo-Saxon perception of international relations, which endlessly believed in reason and ignored the real interests of nation-states. Using realist criticism, the paper concludes that power politics is an integral part of human nature and every nation. More precisely, how in fact the USA, France, and Great Britain, that is, the creators of the Versailles Peace Treaty, promoted collective security, while in the background they were guided by their own (imperial) interests.
