Still different views emerged, American President Woodrow Wilson wanted a peace without victory using his Fourteen Points, which favored self determination, British P.M for Labour David Lloyd George wanted a new Britain which would cost money he didn't have and French President Georges Clemenceau wanted to weaken and humiliate Germany so that it wouldn't threaten France again.]]> 2020-04-19 17:08:14 UTC https://padlet.com/marcoaramirez2003/9vkamkb3432s6jnv/wish/515680679 marcoaramirez2003 https://padlet.com/marcoaramirez2003/9vkamkb3432s6jnv/wish/515681281 The Paris Peace Conference also lead to the creation of the League of Nations proposed by Woodrow Wilson, more than 40 nations joined and swore that they would report to debate and negotiation rather than war while taking common action against any aggressor state.]]> 2020-04-19 17:08:42 UTC https://padlet.com/marcoaramirez2003/9vkamkb3432s6jnv/wish/515681281 marcoaramirez2003 https://padlet.com/marcoaramirez2003/9vkamkb3432s6jnv/wish/515693294 Still troops from both sides were tired from fighting and the disgraceful life conditions they had to live with in the trenches. ]]> 2020-04-19 17:17:27 UTC https://padlet.com/marcoaramirez2003/9vkamkb3432s6jnv/wish/515693294 marcoaramirez2003 https://padlet.com/marcoaramirez2003/9vkamkb3432s6jnv/wish/515699521 Still after the German offensive, the allies sent a counterattack reinforced by the fresh American troops. Which led the germans and the other central powers to propose an armistice on November 11, 1918.]]> 2020-04-19 17:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/marcoaramirez2003/9vkamkb3432s6jnv/wish/515699521 marcoaramirez2003 https://padlet.com/marcoaramirez2003/9vkamkb3432s6jnv/wish/515719398 For the allies the Central Powers were the ones responsible for all the destruction and hence would be the ones to pay for reparations harming even more their already weakened economy.
Meanwhile the central powers looked for scapegoats inside their own populations spreading hate that would later fuel a new war.]]> 2020-04-19 17:36:01 UTC https://padlet.com/marcoaramirez2003/9vkamkb3432s6jnv/wish/515719398 marcoaramirez2003 https://padlet.com/marcoaramirez2003/9vkamkb3432s6jnv/wish/515733497 As well Conservative politicians dreaded the rise of a new political ideology in russia, communism.

As well 6-13 million civilians lost their lives. Due to their closeness to the frontlines Germany and France suffered the heaviest casualties, meanwhile the Americans who entered the last stages of the war suffered less.]]> 2020-04-19 17:48:51 UTC https://padlet.com/marcoaramirez2003/9vkamkb3432s6jnv/wish/515736845 marcoaramirez2003 https://padlet.com/marcoaramirez2003/9vkamkb3432s6jnv/wish/515771982 One of the main results of the conference was the Versailles Treaty. Which made Germany assume full responsibility for the war, paying reparations of up to 2.7 trillion dollars, limited its military, prevented them from having navy or airfare, demilitarized the Rhineland, returned Alsace Lorraine to France and stripped Germany from there colonies. The Germans had no other option but to sign but their resentment would continue for two decades and would spark a new war.]]> 2020-04-19 18:14:11 UTC https://padlet.com/marcoaramirez2003/9vkamkb3432s6jnv/wish/515771982 marcoaramirez2003 https://padlet.com/marcoaramirez2003/9vkamkb3432s6jnv/wish/515778578 The allies continued signing treaties with the rest of the Central Powers often humiliating them, Austria-Hungary was split in Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and a part was added to the newly form Yugoslavia dominated by the Serbians.

This weakened the League's power and although through its existence it prevented small conflicts time would tell it wasn't able to prevent war. Still it was a great first step towards an international organization that strives for peace and the well-being of all peoples.]]> 2020-04-19 18:35:46 UTC https://padlet.com/marcoaramirez2003/9vkamkb3432s6jnv/wish/515799631
