Last Thursday was also familiar to what I learned in World History, but some things were also new. I knew about the Paris Peace Conference and that Germany and their allies were not a part of the meeting. The Treaty of Versailles was also very familiar. I knew that Germany had to pay reparations, give up land, be under international control, and was blame for WWI. Wilson's " Fourteen Points" and the League of Nations was also familiar. The Fourteen Points was a plan for a " peace without victory". It said that there shouldn't be anymore secret alliances, wanted more colonies, wanted to form the League of Nations, and establish Poland. The League of Nations was part of the Treaty of Versailles. It said that it wanted to come together and talk about the issues so war won't take place. The U.S. rejects the treaty and doesn't join the League.
