1. Treaty of Versailles
-know what it specifically did and how it helped lead to WWII
The Treaty of Versailles was a peace settlement that ended the war between Germany and the Allied Powers in World War I. Many believe the treaty started World War II. The treaty of Versailles ended the Russian revolt. It was signed on June 28th, 1919 in a town called Versailles. The three most important politicians were David George, Georges Clemenceau, and Woodrow Wilson. Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated June 28th, 1914 and the Treaty of Versailles was signed June 28th, 1919. Exactly five years after the assassinations of the Archduke. During World War I there was a lot of damage done to Germany and other countries. The treaty states that Germany is responsible for WWI but others say that Germany was not responsible. The Allies wanted Germany to pay for this so they wrote the Treaty of Versailles.
Woodrow Wilson focused on 14 points for the Treaty. Open diplomacy, freedom of the seas, removal of economic barriers, reduction of armaments, adjustment of colonial claims, conquered territories in Russia, preservation of Belgian sovereignty, restoration of French territory, redrawing of Italian frontiers, division of Austria-Hungary, redrawing of Balkan boundaries, limitations on Turkey, establishment of an independent Poland, and association of nations. Wilson’s main goal was to set up the League of Nations. The League of Nations was a group of countries agreeing to keep peace. Mostly made up of Allies due to a fear of discouragement from other countries after they went to war against the Allies and lost.
