Six months after the armistice the four major powers of France, England, Italy, and the United States came to Paris to write the treaty to end the war officially and divide the spoils for winning the war. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, was extremely idealistic and politically inept as he tried to present his fourteen points and the establishment of the League of Nations. France, on the other hand, wanted to destroy Germany’s economy and make them admit the war was their fault and pay crippling reparations to offset the cost of the war to France. England wanted more power in the defunct Ottoman Empire and Italy was basically left out. The Versailles Treaty did not end the war to end all wars, but was a twenty-year truce prior to WWII. Paul Downey traces the treaty from the start of WWI in 1914 and the dramatic effect the Versailles Treaty has on today’s politics through Wilsonian politics, England and France’s Middle Eastern policy of broken promises, India’s road to independence, and the rise of America to the world stage. 14822 Th 2/25 2-4 p.m. Atascocita Downey Day Date Time Location Instructor The Fourth Year: The Americans Enter the War Germany sends the Zimmermann telegram urging Mexico to declare war against the United States.

The French offense at Chemin des Dame is a total disaster and the French soldiers mutiny. The first wave of the American Expeditionary Force arrives in France.

The British continue in the Middle East and capture Jerusalem. 14082 T 2/16 1-3 p.m. EMCID Downey The Fifth Year: Finally Armistice! Two waves of Influenza kill more people than the total war. President Wilson develops “Fourteen Points” toward permanent world peace. Germany launches five major offenses to win the war prior to the Americans’ appearance in the trenches. Baron von Richthofen, also known as the Red Baron, is killed. The American troops begin to be the force that turns the tide. German offense is halted. German troops begin to desert. Tsar Nicholas II and his family are killed by a Bolshevik firing squad. Allies break through German fortifications at the Hindenburg line and Kaiser Wilhelm II retreats to the Netherlands. The war ends on the eleventh month, the eleventh day, and the eleventh hour.
