The Treaty of Versailles, 1919
Introduction
After the war, the victors met at the Palace of Versailles, near Paris, to tell Germany the terms of peace. Defeated Germany was not allowed to send any delegates, and had no choice but to accept whatever was decided. Most of the delegates wanted revenge. Only President Woodrow Wilson of the United States wanted a better world.
