  10. Chapter 19 SECTION 5 – Global Peacemaker As World War I began and then spread to much of Europe, the United States tried to remain neutral as long as possible.

  11. President Wilson’s Proposals • As the war neared an end, President Wilson developed a program for peace around the world known as the Fourteen Points, named for the number of provisions it contained. • One of Wilson’s Fourteen Points called for an end to entangling alliances • another involved a reduction of military forces. • Another dealt with the right of Austria-Hungary’s ethnic groups to self-determination, or the power to make decisions about their own future. • Although both Wilson and the German government assumed that the Fourteen Points would form the basis of peace negotiations, the Allies disagreed. During peace negotiations, Wilson’s Fourteen Points were discarded one by one.

  12. PARIS PEACE CONFERENCE BIG FOUR • Wilson Forced to Compromise • Headed to the conference in January of 1919 • Although Wilson claimed that he was not interested in the spoils, or rewards, of war, his Allied colleagues were interested in making the Central Powers pay for war damages. • Wilson was forced to compromise on his 14 Points so he could negotiate for the League of Nations.

  13. The Paris Peace Conference The League of Nations • One of Wilson’s ideas, the formation of a League of Nations, was agreed upon at the Paris Peace Conference. • The League of Nations was designed to bring the nations of the world together to ensure peace and security. • Republicans in Congress, however, were concerned about Article 10 of the League of Nation’s charter • contained a provision that they claimed might draw the United States into unpopular foreign wars. • They were called the irreconcilables

  14. LEAGUE OF NATIONS • ARTICLE 10 • The Members of the League undertake to respect and preserve as against external aggression the territorial integrity and existing political independence of all Members of the League. In case of any such aggression or in case of any threat or danger of such aggression, the Council shall advise upon the means by which this obligation shall be fulfilled. • Problems Senator Lodge Had With LON • Power of Congress to declare war • Get US involved in a war with no self-interest • How would it effect the Monroe Doctrine Policy? • Will the LON guarantee a just and lasting peace? • Goes against our policy of no “foreign alliances”

  15. The Peace Treaty • On June 28, 1919, the peace treaty that ended WW I, which came to be known as the Versailles Treaty,was signed at Versailles, outside of Paris. • The treaty which was negotiated at the Paris Peace Conference redrew the map of Europe to the Allies’ advantage. • Nine new nations were created from territory taken from Austria-Hungary, Russia, and Germany. • France insisted that Germany be humiliated and financially crippled. • The peace treaty required Germany to pay billions of dollars in reparations, or payment for economic injury suffered during the war.

  16. Redrawing the Map of Europe • At the Paris Peace Conference, Britain, France, and the United States redrew the map of Europe.
