  2. I. American Opposition to the Treaty • Republican controlled Congress refuses to sign Treaty of Versailles. • Why? • The League of Nations.

  3. Article Ten of the League plan is biggest problem. • Article #10: All member nations must step in case of problem. • The Senate, led by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, pressures Wilson to compromise on the League.

  4. ` • The U.S.NEVER signs the Treaty of Versailles. • The U.S.NEVER joins the League of Nations!! • In 1920 President Harding signs a separate treaty with Germany.

  6. Wilson refuses to compromise. BIG Mistake • Wilson goes on speaking tour to convince the public to push for the treaty. • Wilson suffers a stroke while speaking in Colorado. The Treaty is DOOMED in the U.S.

  7. You may strip Germany of her colonies, reduce her armaments to a mere police force and her navy to that of a fifth-rate power; all the same, in the end, if she feels that she has been unjustly treated in the peace of 1919, she will find means of exacting retribution from her conquerors.” • --David Lloyd George

  8. “I predict there would be another world war within a generation if no pains were taken to prevent it. Every women should weep for her child who when he grows to manhood will have to go forth and fight.” --Woodrow Wilson

  9. SENATE wanted to Protect AMERICAN NEUTRALITY and keep us out of European wars • NO DESIRE to get into another ALLIANCE SYSTEM/Collective Security (ARTICLE 10 of the L.O.N.) • T.O.V. punished GERMANY too Harshly(FEAR OF REVENGE) • WW doesn’t compromise with GOP SENATE (LODGE) • WW had a Stroke

  10. The Hall of Mirrors

  11. What were the 14 points? • What was the main difference between the 14 points and the Treaty of Versailles? • Why did France and England want to punish Germany? • What did Wilson believe was his most important point? Why?

Both sides of the war used propaganda in order to • A-influence soldiers to fight in no man’s land • B-to raise money, encourage participation in the war, and arouse feelings of hatred toward the enemy • C-influence the leaders of the allied powers to remain neutral • D-convince neutral nations to give money to either side

  13. Mistake #1 No Republicans at the Paris Peace Conference. • The Treaty of Versailles will punish the Germans Harshly!!!

  14. Where are the Republicans?

  15. The decision of the US Supreme Court in Schenck v. the U.S. shows that certain rights are • A-considered more important than the military • B-not guarenteed to immigrants • C-affected by state laws • D-limited in certain situations

  16. Wilson should have worked more closely with the Senate during peace negotiations b/c • A-all treaties must be approved by a 2/3 vote in the Senate • B-Wilson needed Senate support to run for a third term in 1920 • C-the Senate was controlled by his own political party • D-the Senate was responsible for the war debts of the allies

  17. Many Germans felt that the Treaty of Versailles was unfair because • A-Germany was not involved in the crisis that led to war • B-the bases for peace in the 14 Points were ignored in the Treaty of Versailles • C-The U.S. claimed many of Germany’s former colonies • D-they resented the loss of German land to England
