    The document provides context, content, and commentary on a political cartoon from the time of the Treaty of Versailles. The context outlines that Germany had just been defeated in WWI and the harsh terms of the Treaty blamed Germany and imposed massive reparations. The content of the cartoon depicts Clemenceau as an evil vampire sucking the blood from a young, helpless German girl. Discarded weapons and bats outside the window suggest Germany is defenseless. The commentary is that Clemenceau and the Treaty are depicted as vampires draining Germany of its resources and ability to defend itself through the massive reparations imposed by the Treaty.
