This discussion explores the Versailles Treaty, focusing on President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points and American reactions. We will evaluate the implications of a global government, particularly regarding U.S. compliance with United Nations rulings. The impact of communism in Russia under Lenin and the West's response during the Red Scare will also be examined. Additional considerations include the Treaty of Versailles's harsh terms on Germany, the internal political conflict over ratification, and the broader consequences for international relations in the post-war world.

  33. End of the war Treaty of Versailles (Big Four – Woodrow Wilson, David Lloyd George of Britain, Georges Clemenceau of France, and Vittorio Orlando of Italy.

  34. End of the war Versailles Conference Wilson went in with the Fourteen Points but ended up agreeing with France and Britain to punish Germany if France and Britain agreed to the League of Nations.

  35. End of the war Harsh on Germany: war guilt, reparations, lost colonies, demilitarize, be occupied for 15 years

  36. Wilson vs. the SenateHenry Cabot Lodge (R) – one of the most outspoken senators against the treaty (the U.S. Senate must ratify all treaties). I don’t like the treaty.

  37. Wilson vs. the SenateHenry Cabot Lodge (R) – one of the most outspoken senators against the treaty (the U.S. Senate must ratify all treaties). Why not? I think it’s good

  38. Wilson vs. the SenateHenry Cabot Lodge (R) – one of the most outspoken senators against the treaty (the U.S. Senate must ratify all treaties). The League of Nations is bad since other nations could commit us to war…

  39. Wilson vs. the SenateHenry Cabot Lodge (R) – one of the most outspoken senators against the treaty (the U.S. Senate must ratify all treaties). …plus it’s too open-ended. You can’t form nations just based on ethnicity. Do you want the American Southwest to be independent?

  40. Wilson vs. the SenateLodge only controlled 49 votes (47 seats held by Dems.). If Wilson stayed and negotiated, he could’ve swayed some of the 49 into a compromise. His decision led to him having a stroke. Well then I’m going to travel the nation and gain public support.

  41. Wilson vs. the SenateThe treaty was not ratified and the U.S. never joined the League of Nations.

  42. Evaluations • World War I was initially called the “war to end all wars.” Obviously, that didn’t work out. Is it possible to end all war? Why or why not? • Wilson’s Fourteen Points were an example of his Progressive beliefs in which he saw a more global organization of law. Do you agree with his Fourteen Points, or do they create too much global power infringing on the rights of a independent nations (if agreed to, nations wouldn’t be allow do build defense as they saw fit, charge tariffs, negotiate trade pacts)? • Was the Treaty of Versailles harsh toward Germany (do you agree with the harshness analysis) or is it justified? Why? • If you were a senator, would you have ratified the treaty? Why or why not? • Should Wilson have debated and compromised with the Senate or was it a good idea to travel the nation making speeches to try to get public support (regardless of his stroke)? • What were the unintended consequences of the treaty (watch video clip and answer from the clip)?

  43. World War IPinheads and Patriots Give the pinhead label to the person/event that most deserves it. Give the patriot label to the person/event that most deserves it.
