President Wilson's 14 Points• US President• goals to restore peace in worl d after WWI

> have treaties signed/agreed to> remove economic barriers that limit nations so there is trade equality across the world> there should be freedom of navigation across all world's waters> equality would allow for stability and end of wars btwn nations

– prevent nations like Germany to expand b/c everyone all has free access– all nations will gain & there wiill be no tension – dominant world nations not happy about this idea b/c they'd lose some power 

> self­determination for all nations – all nations should be able to decide for themselves the government they have

« end of imperialism > League of Nations 

– modern day UN where world leaders can discuss problems first– US never joined 

Clemenceau of France• afraid of Germany b/c they are world power & large in size & have better tech & resources• believes only way to get through to Germ is to dictate rules of end of war

> Germ & France should make the final decision not the rest of the world • wants rest of world to see that can control an aggressor

Middle Eastern Nationalism• Jewish people pushing for a state of Israel - Zionism in 1918 b/c Ottoman Emp fell, & Wilson

talking about self-determination > Balfour Declaration 1917

– Brits promise to give land to Jews (Israel)– Brits promise this to Jews b/c American Jews weren't supporting war effort

> General Syrian Congress– Arabs want indep for Syria & want land of Palestine/ Israel for themselves

Treaty of Versailles• offical treaty to end WWI• Germany is severly punished - French Idea

> had to give up Rhine Land - border land btwn France & Germ> had to give up all military> had to pay $33 billion to winners of WWI> Germany is forced to accept total blame for war - even though they didn't start the war

• League of Nations is created> US never joins> has no police force - can't enforce peace

• Imperialism is not ended
