What was the Treaty of Versailles- ended the war
Main Points of Treaty of Versailles and other treaties of WWI- Reason why Germany signed the armistice on Nov. 11th was because they heard about Wilson's 14 points and the 14 points weren't going to punish Germany and they liked that Land was taken away from Germany Reduced size and weapons for the army Financial- land that was industrialized was taken away- lost money that way because they didn't have those factories to make money paid 33 billion dollars League of Nations was set up world wide peace keeping organization New countries in Europe Finland, Estonia, Lathua, Lithuania, from Russia Czechoslovakia from Austria-Hungry and Germany Yugoslavia Poland
What did the US do in response to the Treaty of Versailles- Congress didn't ratify the Treaty Liked that his 14 points was in the Treaty of Versailles Congress- if we joined the league, we would be pulled into European wars all the time Wilson thought the opposite- that if we joined the league, wars wouldn't happen as often
