We are finishing World War I today. Bruns sang to us, and it was very good. I give him a 9.7The Treaty of Versailles ended the war. The four countries that met for the treaty were U.S., France, Italy, and England. Woodrow Wilson represented the U.S. Wilson's points were pretty fair. He had 14 Points.. end secret treaties, freedom of seas, end to colonial claims, free trade for all countries, self-determination for all countries. France wanted to be harder on Germany. Germany lost land to France, Belgium, Denmark, and others.Military..Germany's army was reduced to 100,000 men. Also, they were not allowed tanks or an airforce. They also only were allowed 6 capital naval ships and no submarines.Financial.. Germany lost vital industry territory, which their economy fell. They printed a lot of money, which made it worthless--Treaty of Versailles-stated Germany should take full responsiblity for the war (War Guilt Clause)-League of Nations was set up to keep world peace. Wilson really wanted this in the treaty.League of Nations..five permamnent members-England, France, Italy, U.S., and Japan. U.S. never joined.Japan was pleased with WWI results. They gained territories on the coast.Wilson traveled the country trying to persuade people to agree to join the League of Nations.Yay Bruns.. you finished World War I in two and a half class periods.
