| The "Big Four" at Versailles in 1919 courtesy Britanica.com |
Over the course of Tuesday and Wednesday, class discussion focused on the Versailles Peace Conference at the culmination of the Great War. Together, we analyzed Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points for peace, contrasted Wilson's vision with that of the European leaders at the conference (DL George, G. Clemenceau, V. Orlando) and discussed the finalized version of the treaty of Versailles. Rather than achieving Wilson's vision for a "peace without victory," this document will punish and humiliate Germany, lead to economic ruin, the rise of fascism and the Second World War. Finally, we also analyzed Wilson's vision for a League of Nations, and why the United States failed to enter this organization.
