big4 When President Wilson went to Paris, France, he was welcomed like he was a God. Countries were convinced that his 14 points could “end all war”. But, the hatred of the Allied nations led to the Treaty of Versailles to be a “Treaty of Revenge” against Germany.

ARTICLE 159. The German military forces shall be demolished and reduced as prescribed hereinafter. ARTICLE 160. (1) By a date which must not be later than March 31, 1920, the German Army must not comprise more than seven divisions of infantry and three divisions of cavalry. After that date the total number of effectives in the Army of the States constituting Germany must not exceed one hundred thousand men, including officers and establishments of depots. The Army shall be devoted exclusively to the maintenance of order within the territory and to the control of the frontiers. The total effective strength of officers, including the personnel of staffs, whatever their composition, must not exceed four thousand.

SECTION IV. SAAR BASIN. ARTICLE 45 As compensation for the destruction of the coal-mines in the north of France and as part payment towards the total reparation due from Germany for the damage resulting from the war, Germany cedes to France in full and absolute possession, with exclusive rights of exploitation, unencumbered and free from all debts and charges of any kind, the coal-mines situated in the Saar Basin as defined in Article 48. ARTICLE 49. Germany renounces in favour of the League of Nations, in the capacity of trustee, the government of the territory defined above. At the end of fifteen years from the coming into force of the present Treaty the inhabitants of the said territory shall be called upon to indicate the sovereignty under which they desire to be placed.

The Allied and Associated Governments affirm and Germany accepts the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage to which the Allied and Associated Governments and their nationals have been subjected as a consequence of the war imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and her allies.

In order to enable the Allied and Associated Powers to proceed at once to the restoration of their industrial and economic life, pending the full determination of their claims, Germany shall pay in such installments and in such manner (whether in gold, commodities, ships, securities or otherwise) as the Reparation Commission may fix, during 1919, 1920 and the first four months Of 1921, the equivalent of 20,000,000,000 gold marks.

David Lloyd George Vitorio Orlando George Clemeneau Woodrow Wilson Great Britain Italy France U.S. big4 Wilson Forced to Compromise Although Wilson claimed that he was not interested in the spoils, or rewards, of war, his Allied colleagues were interested in making the Central Powers pay for war damages. Wilson was forced to compromise on his 14 Points so he could negotiate for the League of Nations.

Open diplomacy or no secret treaties. Freedom of the seas. Removal of tariff and other economic barriers or free trade. Reduction of land and weapons International control of colonies, with self- government as the goal.

big4 Wilson believed he could “end all war” with his 14 points for world peace. But, Allied countries had their own self- interest and agendas in mind. Wilson had to compromise most of his 14 points to get his “league of nations” Wilson warned Allies not to be to harsh on Germany because it could lead to future problems.

League of Nations  One of Wilson’s ideas, the formation of a League of Nations.  The League of Nations was designed to bring the nations of the world together to ensure peace and security.  Collective Security of larger nations to keep world peace.
