Major Points of Versailles and other WW1 treaties- Aimed towards punishing Germany. Wilson's 14 points (thought 14 points was gonna be treaty, so they signed it)Territorial- Germany lost many countries taken from Germany and given to allied countries and France, Belgium, Denmark, Czechoslovakia, Poland and also lost colonies. Military- Germany's army reduced to 100,00, no tanks or air force or submarines were allowed. Financial- Germany lost industrial territory which is land that had mines and lots of resources, had to pay $33 billion to allies. Germany had to admit full responsibility for the war. Had to pay for war. League of Nations was set up- world wide peace keeping organization. US, France, Great Britain, Italy were big 4. Had vast majority power. New countries- Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania from Russia. Poland from Russia and Germany...Czechoslovakia from Austria-Hungary, Yugoslavia from Austria Hungary and Serbia. 

What did US do in regards to Treaty of Versailles- Senate rejected the treaty. Congress thought it was too harsh on Germany. Not happy with the League of Nations. Signed own treaties ending the war.
