Notes:
-Treaty of Versailles: officially ended war with Germany. Much of Germany's land given to other countries. Their army reduced to 100,000 men, no tanks, not allowed to have an airforce, 6 capital naval ships and no submarines. Germany had to pay 33 billion dollars. Germany banned to unite with Austria. War Guilt Clause- Germany forced to claim responsibility for all the war damage caused by WW1. League of Nations set up to maintain world peace.
-League of Nations: five permanent members- Great Britain, France, Italy, U.S. (never joined), Japan. Four non-permanent members that rotated. All members must submit disputes for investigation, arbitration, and settlement. Germany and Soviet Union not allowed to join right away.
-Why U.S. didn't ratify Treaty of Versailles? U.S. senators thought joining it would push us into war constantly.
