8. THE BIG FOUR AT VERSAILLES

9. PEACE OF JUSTICE  Wilson on the other hand wanted a peaceful settlement where no country would be punished.  He felt if you punish a country it would create resentment and another world war could happen.

10. PEACE OF VENGEANCE Leaders of Great Britain, Italy and France all wanted to punish Germany for the war.  Blamed Germany for the war and saw them as the main aggressor.  They wanted to seek revenge against Germany and make sure Germany could never again be an aggressor nation in Europe.

11. WILSON’S FOURTEEN POINTS Wilson came with a 14-point plan.  Called for the creation of the “League of Nations”  Called for self-determination for newly formed or freed countries  Free trade and no secret treaties (Most of Wilson’s points were ignored or just used as bargaining tools)

12. TREATY OF VERSAILLES  Treaty that ended WWI led to WWII  Germany had to pay war debt ($33 Billion)  Germany stripped of colonies.  Germany lost military.  Germany lost land and mostly its most productive (money earning) land.

13. LEAGUE OF NATIONS  Precursor to the United Nations.  All nations would come together to work out their problems.  If a country took matters into their own hands, the League would step in.  America never signed the Treaty of Versailles because it feared it would get dragged into another world war.

14. LEGACY OF THE WAR  In the end most of Europe was not happy with the treaties.  People found themselves in a new country where they did not want to be.  Huge amounts of territory lost  End of Empires  Germany collapsed into financial ruin  Total war costs: Billions  Bitter feelings and the economic devastation faced by Germany left the possibility of another world war.
