3 NAME: GROUP # AIM: DO NOW: What was one advantage and one disadvantage of WWI on African Americans? What was one advantage and one disadvantage of WWI on Women? Answer in 5-7 sentences: 1. COMMITTEE NOTES Wilson s 14 Points One goal for a lasting peace that President Woodrow Wilson included in his Fourteen Points was: 1. establishing a League of Nations 2. maintaining a permanent military force in Europe 3. returning the United States to a policy of isolationism 4. blaming Germany for causing World War I

4 The Versailles Conference Dear Committee Member, You are a member of a special team of 5 committees brought together to convince the United States Senate to ratify the Treaty of Versailles. Each committee is responsible for researching 1 main agreement of the Treaty of Versailles, and reporting back to the special team. You have been assigned to Special Team Committee #1. After reviewing the classified material with your group, create a poster sign that does the following: 1. Clearly identifies what agreement your committee researched. (1 point) 2. List the main points of the agreement (2 points) 3. Explains why the Senate should support this agreement of the Treaty of Versailles, and ratify the treaty (2 points)

5 Committee 1 August 11, 1919 Committee Members, We all know that World War I ended last November 11, A few weeks ago David Lloyd George of England, Vittorio Orlando of Italy, Georges Clemenceau of France and Woodrow Wilson from the US (The Big Four) finally decided, along with 32 other countries, Germany should pay for the horrible destruction caused by the war. President Wilson came to the peace conference with suggestions for the treaty. He called it the 14 Point Plan. It was pretty detailed, but the main points were: 1. No more secret treaties. 2. All countries must reduce armaments (weapons). 3. Self-determination (independence for countries ruled by others) 4. A League of Nations. Wilson s wanted the Treaty of Versailles to follow along his 14 Point Plan, but only the League of Nations was kept. The leaders at the peace conference decided on a new set of conditions (or agreements) for the Treaty.. One condition of the Treaty was: The War Guilt Clause or BLAME For the WWI Research this thoroughly and convince the U.S. Senate that the Treaty of Versailles should be ratified! Good Luck Committee!

6 Committee 1 Documents The War Guilt Clause (BLAME) Germany must accept total responsibility for starting World War 1. Around 37 million people were killed. Millions of people died after the war due to famine and disease THE WAR GUILT CLAUSE 1. This refers to Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles, which placed the blame for all losses received by the Allies in the First World War, on Germany. 2. If Germany accepts blame for World War I, they will be financially responsible for all of the war damage caused by World War I. CORRESPONDENCE FROM DELEGATE I. M. THABOSS The War Guilt Clause was added in order to get the French and Belgians to agree to reduce the sum of money that Germany would have to pay to compensate for war damage. Although most Germans hate the War Guilt Clause, we believe it is very important for Germany to take full blame for all of the death and destruction they caused to the world. Allied Powers Casualties Britain: 750,000 soldiers killed; 1,500,000 wounded France: 1,400,000 soldiers killed; 2,500,000 wounded Russia: 1,700,000 soldiers killed Italy: 600,000 soldiers killed Central Powers Casualties Germany: 2,000,000 soldiers killed Austria- Hungary: 1,200,000 soldiers killed Turkey: 325,000 soldiers killed Bulgaria: 100,000 soldiers kille Belgium: 50,000 soldiers killed America: 116,000 soldiers killed

7 Committee 2 August 11, 1919 Committee Members, We all know that World War I ended last November 11, A few weeks ago David Lloyd George of England, Vittorio Orlando of Italy, Georges Clemenceau of France and Woodrow Wilson from the US (The Big Four) finally decided, along with 32 other countries, Germany should pay for the horrible destruction caused by the war. President Wilson came to the peace conference with suggestions for the treaty. He called it the 14 Point Plan. It was pretty detailed, but the main points were: 1. No more secret treaties. 2. All countries must reduce armaments (weapons). 3. Self-determination (independence for countries ruled by others) 4. A League of Nations. Wilson s wanted the Treaty of Versailles to follow along his 14 Point Plan, but only the League of Nations was kept. The leaders at the peace conference decided on a new set of conditions (or agreements) for the Treaty. One condition of the Treaty was: German REPARATIONS (Paying back the costs of war) Research this thoroughly and convince the U.S. Senate that the Treaty of Versailles should be ratified! Good Luck Committee

8 Committee 2 Documents German REPARATIONS The cost of the war was in the millions of dollars. In France and Belgium, where most of the fighting was, 300,000 houses, 6,000 factories, 1,000 miles of railway, 2,000 breweries and 112 coal mines were destroyed. CORRESPONDENCE FROM DELEGATE I. M. THABOSS World War I was an expensive war. It cost over $180,000,000,000. Leaders at the peace conference all agree that Germany should be held responsible for the total cost of the war, and repay the Allies. Although it will take Germany more than a 100 years to repay this debt, they must do it. In truth the destruction they caused can never be fully repaid. REPARATIONS (PAYMENT FOR WAR DAMAGES) 1. This was a difficult problem to solve and so a reparations commission was established to decide how many goods and how much money Germany should pay. 2. The figure 23.6 billion ($393.6 billion today) was eventually agreed upon.

9 Committee 3 August 11, 1919 Committee Members, We all know that World War I ended last November 11, A few weeks ago David Lloyd George of England, Vittorio Orlando of Italy, Georges Clemenceau of France and Woodrow Wilson from the US (The Big Four) finally decided, along with 32 other countries, Germany should pay for the horrible destruction caused by the war.

Wilson s wanted the Treaty of Versailles to follow along his 14 Point Plan, but only the League of Nations was kept. The leaders at the peace conference decided on a new set of conditions (or agreements) for the Treaty. One condition of the Treaty was: Reducing the German ARMY Research this thoroughly and convince the U.S. Senate that the Treaty of Versailles should be ratified! Good Luck Committee!

10 Committee 3 Documents Reduction of German ARMY The German military must be decreased! They caused chaos and destruction across the globe. We must protect all of the European countries from such barbarians... REDUCTION OF GERMANY ARMY 1. Army: Reduced to only 100,000 men. They can have no tanks 2. Navy: Germany will only be allowed to have 6 naval ships and no submarines! 3. Air Force: No Air Force allowed- at all! 4. Forbidden from buying any weapons or war materials CORRESPONDENCE FROM DELEGATE I. M. THABOSS Leaders at the peace conference all agree that Germany s military must be reduced. We do not want to see the Germany army gain power again. The Allie Powers will keep any army of occupation on the west bank of the Rhine for 15 years. We also want to demand that an area of Germany be made into a demilitarized zone (DMZ). That means no German solider or weapon will be allowed into this zone.

11 Committee 4 August 11, 1919 Committee Members, We all know that World War I ended last November 11, A few weeks ago David Lloyd George of England, Vittorio Orlando of Italy, Georges Clemenceau of France and Woodrow Wilson from the US (The Big Four) finally decided, along with 32 other countries, Germany should pay for the horrible destruction caused by the war.

Wilson s wanted the Treaty of Versailles to follow along his 14 Point Plan, but only the League of Nations was kept. The leaders at the peace conference decided on a new set of conditions (or agreements) for the Treaty. One condition of the Treaty was: Taking Away German TERRITORY Research this thoroughly and convince the U.S. Senate that the Treaty of Versailles should be ratified! Good Luck Committee!

12 Committee 4 Documents Loss of German TERRITORY Germany must give up some its Territory! We must take away some of their important industrial territory to prevent them from building up their economy they must never gain economic power in the world again. Loss of German Territory 1. Germany will loose 10 percent of their land and 12.5 percent of their population. 2. Taking this land away from Germany is very important because it will prevent. CORRESPONDENCE FROM DELEGATE I. M. THABOSS The Treaty of Versailles demands that Germany give up land to a number of other countries. Alsace- Lorraine should be returned to France, Eupen and Malmedy will be given to Belgium, and North Schleswig will be given to Denmark. Land will also taken from Germany and given to Czechoslovakia and Poland. The League of Nations will take control of Germany's colonies.

13 Committee 5 August 11, 1919 Committee Members, We all know that World War I ended last November 11, A few weeks ago David Lloyd George of England, Vittorio Orlando of Italy, Georges Clemenceau of France and Woodrow Wilson from the US (The Big Four) finally decided, along with 32 other countries, Germany should pay for the horrible destruction caused by the war.

Wilson s wanted the Treaty of Versailles to follow along his 14 Point Plan, but only the League of Nations was kept. The leaders at the peace conference decided on a new set of conditions (or agreements) for the Treaty. One condition of the Treaty was: Establishing a LEAGUE OF NATIONS Research this thoroughly and convince the U.S. Senate that the Treaty of Versailles should be ratified! Good Luck Committee!

14 Committee 5 Documents LEAGUE OF NATIONS World peace must be secured. The world needs a league to ensure that war will never break out again. It will bring peace and stability to this chaotic world The United States is especially horrified by slaughter that has taken place THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS 1. One of Wilson s 14 Points that was added to the Treaty of Versailles. 2. The League of Nations was a world organization where countries could gather and peacefully resolve their disputes (disagreements). 3. The League of Nations will be able to issue verbal, economic, or physical sanctions (punishment) to enforce their decisions. CORRESPONDENCE FROM DELEGATE I. M. THABOSS Leaders at the peace conference believe that an international organization must be set up in order to avoid any more World Wars. Germany will not be allowed to join! The sole purpose of this international organization will be to maintain peace and sort out international disputes when they occur. All of the other nations at the peace conference agree that we need to do this. We know that the United States would rather isolate themselves from world affairs, but it was our President s (Wilson s) idea to begin with.
