In 1763, few would have predicted that by 1776 a revolution would be unfolding in British America.
The ingredients of discontent seemed lacking — at least on the surface. The colonies were not in a state of economic crisis; on the contrary, they were relatively prosperous. Unlike the Irish, no groups of American citizens were clamoring for freedom from England based on national identity. KING GEORGE III was not particularly despotic — surely not to the degree his predecessors of the previous century had been.
Furthermore, the colonies were not unified. Benjamin Franklin discovered this quite clearly when he devised the ALBANY PLAN OF UNION in 1754. This plan, under the slogan "Join, or Die," would have brought the colonial rivals together to meet the common threat of the French and Indians. Much to Franklin's chagrin, this plan was soundly defeated.

Explanation:
Lets start with the Paris Peace Conference. This event was a meeting of the victorious Allies after World War 1 they where meeting to set the peace terms for the Central Powers. Basically there was representation from nearly 30 different nations, but the big four domonated the floor. The big four includes Great Britain, The United States, France, and Italy. Some of the weaknesses include the fact that the US did join the Allies we didn't feel obligated to stick to the agreements. These four big powers often disagreed and that led to things not getting resolved it just made things worse. Now on to the Treaty of Versailles. This was a very weak treaty. This was because of the absence of great powers like Russia who fought in the war until their government said all done fighting. The basically came up with the League of Nations. Which would act as like a security forum. They thought that this was the way to prevent further wars from happening. I hope this helped a little bit. Feel free to ask me any more questions in the comments if you have any.
