Review End of War notes in google.
Go to the poster representing the part you
think was most significant in shaping the
end of the war and the aftermath.
• Fourteen Point Plan
• Paris Peace Conference
• League of nations
• The Peace Treaty
• The Versailles Treaty
The Fourteen Points
•A peace program set up by Wilson
•Called for an end to secret alliances
•Restoration of freedom of the seas
•Reduction in armaments (the arms and equipment
with which a military unit or military apparatus is
supplied)
•This program reflected President Wilson’s selfdetermination
Paris Peace Conference
•Wilson attends as the U.S. delegate
•Believed that no one was in this for the
rewards…he was wrong
•Countries wanted rewards: France wanted to
humiliate and destroy Germany so it could never
conquer again
•Wilson is forced to give up his “plan”
League of Nations
•Ten days of hard work and negotiating
•It was an organization in which the nations of the
world would join together to ensure security and
peace for all members
The Peace Treaty
•The “BIG FOUR” return to the peace conference a few months later:
Britain, France, Italy, United States
•Allies accepted Wilson’s plan for a League of Nations with some
exceptions:
- 15 year French control of the mineral resources in AlsaceLorraine
- Britain and France wanted reparations (payment from enemy
for the economic injury suffered in the war)
- Ruled that Germany owed Allies $33 billion dollars
•As Wilson feared, Germany would never forget or forgive this
humiliation
The Versailles Treaty
•Presented treaty to Germans on May 7, 1919
•They refused at first but at threat of invasion they
had no choice but to sign
•All signed at Versailles – therefore the name
