A Plan For Peace
• Wilson dreams of world where war is impossible.
• Introduces 14 Points. 6 big parts:– 1. No secret treaties– 2. Freedom of the seas.

• 3. Eliminate tariffs among nations. If we rely on each other we won’t fight!
• 4. Reduce army & navy sizes• 5. Colonial governments should
listen to people

• 6. A “League of Nations” would be “congress” for countries to work out troubles. – Germany shouldn’t be punished;
it should be helped

Problems with 14 Points
• France & England wanted to make Germany pay!
• Allies refused to let GER be part of peace conference!
• Wilson gives up all but “League of Nations”

Treaty of Versailles
• Forces GER to pay $33B to Allies• Forces GER to accept “war guilt”• Forces GER to get rid of military• Takes land from Russians.• Carves up Ottoman Empire into
new colonies

Final Insult
• U.S. Senate has to ratify treaty to make us part of League of Nations
• Republicans refuse to even bring treaty to a vote. Say “America 1st!”
• Wilson forces it, Republicans defeat treaty. League dies before it even starts
