Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The shirtless man (Germany) is standing in front of a guillotine with his hands tied behind his back. This signifies that this is completely against his will. The man standing to the right of Germany is holding a scroll of paper, presumably the treaty of Versailles. This represents how Germany could either perish or sign the treaty. There is nothing in this cartoon that represents Germany promising to not fight another war, the war being equally destructive to all countries, or the countries being equal parties in the discussion. (One of the main reasons WW2 started was because the treaty of Versailles didn't have all the countries being equal parties in the discussion)
