Professor Biagini, spoke about the terrible moments after the first world war. He spoke about the conference that was opened in Versailles, where the victorious powers intended to project a new European order, with the aim to establish a “system” of international relations, that thereafter could avoid the use of the war instruments as a conflict solver. After the opening ceremony, began the sessions.
