Answer
1. In January 1918 a conference known as the **Paris Peace Conference** where representatives from **27** countries met in Paris to discuss the terms of **peace following World War I.**2. The meetings' major decision makers were known in the group as the **Big Four**. They were **Woodrow Wilson** from the United States, **Georges Clemenceau** from France, David Lloyd **George** of Great Britain, and **Vittorio Emanuele Orlando** of Italy. Not invited to the conference were **Germany** and its allies.3. Before WWI ended, **Woodrow Wilson** wrote a peace proposal called the **Fourteen Points,** which outlined a plan for achieving a just and lasting peace.4. The first four points of this proposal included: **an end to secret treaties**, **freedom of the seas**, **free trade**, and **reduced national armies and navies.** (It's important to note there is some variation in how these are summarized, but these are the core ideas).5. The fifth goal addressed **colonial claims** and the sixth through thirteen points were specific suggestions for changing **national boundaries** (specifically giving self-determination to various nationalities in Europe).6. Finally, the fourteenth point proposed **a League of Nations** that would protect "great and small states alike," which reflected Wilson's hope for an organization that could peacefully negotiate solutions to world conflicts.7. The differences between nations led to disagreements as **Wilson** and **the other members of the Big Four** disagreed because they were concerned with **national security** and they also wanted **Germany** to be stripped of its war-making power. (Clemenceau especially wanted to punish Germany and ensure its future weakness).
