It must be a peace without victory… Victory would mean peace forced upon the loser, a victor’s terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be accepted in humiliation, under duress, at an intolerable sacrifice, and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only as upon quicksand. Only a peace between equals can last. (Woodrow Wilson)
Watch the following video on the terms of the Treaty of Versailles.

2) Which term followed War Guilt? How much would it be today? What consequences/impact did it have on Germany?
3) Why were the victors planning to prevent a future war with Germany in the Treaty?
4) What territorial losses did Germany have to face? What happened to the German colonies? What did Wilson dislike about this?
5) Which new nations were created after WW1?
Extension work:
In 2016, the Senior 1 class invented possible conversations between the Big Three at the Paris Peace Conference. They did great work!
Choose ONE of the conversations after you listen to them all and post it in your blog with a description of the conversation and the reasons why you chose that conversation.
