This section focuses on the meeting and debate among key leaders during the peace talks after World War I. The dominant figures, known as the Big Four, include Woodrow Wilson (US President), Georges Clemenceau (French ruler), David Lloyd George (Great Britain), and Vittorio Orlando (Italy). Wilson's Plan for Peace, which includes the Fourteen Points outlining lasting world peace, free trade, an end to secret alliances, and self-determination, is discussed. The Versailles Treaty, with opposition from Britain and France who strive to punish Germany, is signed. It establishes the League of Nations, an international organization for peacekeeping, places blame on Germany for the war and enforces reparations. The creation of new nations and changes in Europe's borders due to the treaty are also highlighted. However, the treaty's terms create bitterness and feelings of betrayal, especially in Germany, and face opposition in the US and from former colonies. Japan and Italy express dissatisfaction as they receive less land than desired.
