The Indian Appropiation Act contained several acts enacted by the US Congress between the late 19th century and the early 20th century.

One of the most outstanding acts was the Indian Appropriations Act from 1871. According to it, Indians would not be treated anymore as an "independent nation, tribe, or power". In turn, Indians would be considered as "wards" of the federal goverment. This provision considers Indians somehow like children, as if they needed a tutor.

From this moment onwards, the US goverment did not have to mantain endless negotiations to sign treaties with the different Indian tribes. Also treaties that had been signed before the Act were not enforceable anymore.

The act made much easier for the US government to exercise control over lands which were previously dominated by the Indians.

The Indian Appropriations Act of 1871 encouraged assimilation with the provision that <u>all Indians should be treated as individuals and legally designated "wards" of the federal government.</u>

The act also established that no Indian nation or tribe would be recognized as an independent nation, tribe, or power with whom the U.S. may contract by treaty and it also declared that the state had no obligation to respect any treaty made with them prior to March 3, 1871.

The document basically left the Indians in a very disadvantageous position, therefore the provision that stated that all of them should be treated as individuals and wards of the state (meaning that they would be under the state's protection) intended to encourage assimilation, and counteract the misfortune of losing their lands' rights and not being taken in account.

In two or three paragraphs, compare and contrast the points of view of Wilson, Clemenceau, and Lloyd George at the Paris Peace C
Agata [3.3K]

Here is what i wrote for my essay:

World War I was settled by the victors at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. The “Big Four,” who made all the major decisions, were President Woodrow Wilson of the United States, Prime Minister David Lloyd George of Great Britain, George Clemenceau of France, and of least importance, Italian Prime Minister Vittorio Orlando. Each major power had its own agenda coming to the Conference and not every aim was represented in the final treaties.


Wilson, Clemenceau, and Lloyd George all had different points of view at the Paris Peace Conference. For instance, lloyd George of Britain wanted to build a postwar Britain "fit for heroes". British aims at the conference were focused on securing France, settling territorial disputes, and maintaining their colonial holdings. Clemenceau of France wanted to weaken Germany so it could never threaten France. Having witnessed two German attacks on French soil in the last 40 years, France’s main concern was to ensure Germany would not be able to attack them again, so they pushed to weaken Germany militarily, strategically, and economically. Wilson of the U.S. wanted "peace without victory" with his fourteen points. The Americans’ vision was set out in Wilson’s Fourteen Points, which emphasized free trade, self-determination, and the founding of a League of Nations to support territorial and political independence of member nations.
