1. End of WWI Objectives- students will.. Define the 14points and League of Nations Identify 3 ways the Treaty of Versailles failed to solve Europe's problems and lead to WWII

2. Treaty Of Versailles – ends WWI and punishes Germany – Demilitarization – Germany can no longer have a large army (may have 100,000 soldiers only, no tanks, no artillery, no war planes.) – Colonies – Germany lost all of its overseas colonies (Cameroon went to France, Namibia to South Africa, and Tanzania to Great Britain.) – Reparations – Germany is forced to pay $ to France for damage done in WWI (Germany goes broke) ***Germany is forced to take full blame for the war. Did Germany deserve to be punished? Did the allies have a right to demand so much from Ger? Should anyone else have been punished? What would have happened if Ger. Was not punished?

3. 14 points- Pres. Wilson’s plan for peace in postwar Europe Self-Determination- create new European countries based on ethnicities Demilitarization- smaller Eur. Militaries – Why might France be skeptical of reducing it’s Army? Colonization- free colonial people in Africa and Asia – Why would Fr and GB not want to free their colonies? Fair Peace- Don’t punish Germany – What could happen if Ger. Is punished? League of nations- Int. organization for countries to talk and avoid war

4. Unresolved Problems – that lead Germany to start WWII – Militarism – (preparing for war) still remains (France and Britain had many weapons, Germany didn’t) – Imperialism – Asia and Africa were promised freedom during WWI (not given to them) – Isolationism – US turns away from the problems in Europe *US was the only country to not to join the League of Nations, yet President (Wilson) imagined them. WHY? – US did not join the LofN b/c the Senate felt that the League of Nations would drag the US into more European conflicts
