Definition
| At the peace conference, European nations wanted Germany to pay for being the cause of the war. They wanted Germany to pay for the damage done to their counties. However, the US did not agree with them. The US thought that Germany had suffered enough and should not be punished further. Wilson wanted the countries to follow the fourteen points. In the end, a compromise was reached. Germany would have to be under disarmament, pay reparations to the other countries, and the League of Nations would be established, satisfying Wilson. The United States, however, did not join the treaty because it did not pass in the Senate. |
