This week we will begin wrapping up our investigation of the Great War & by examining the Versailles Peace Conference. We will focus much of our efforts this week on the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, as they would have a lasting impact, & be a root cause for the rise of dictators & WWII. We will discuss what the Allies demanded from Germany & we will discuss the other peace treaties as well. We will discuss the "Big Four," which included Woodrow Wilson (USA), Georges Clemenceau (France), David Lloyd George (G. Britain), & Vittorio Orlando (Italy). These 4 men were the essential decision makers at the Paris Peace Conference & they all had different views on how to deal with Germany. We will look at each of their views in detail. Towards the end of the week we will examine how the map of Europe changed after WWI & how this would create resentment & anger for many of the nations involved.
