Think-Pair-Share
• How does the Treaty contradict 14 Points?
• End secret negotiations- Written in secret, major nations left out!
• Self-determiniation- boundaries benefit Allies, divide some ethnicities (Austria/Germany)
• Arms reduction- reparations used to rebuild Allies militaries• Collective security- US didn’t join

US Opposition to Treaty
• Isolation vs International Cooperation• Republican Opposition• Lodge, LaFollette• Article X vs. Congressional powers
• Wilson refuses to compromise• Speaking tour, stroke and paralysis
• Treaty defeated in Congress• US signs separate agreement w/GRM
