The Treaty of Versailles was enacted in 1919 as the paece agreeement that ended WWI and it signed between the Allied victorious powers and Germany. Its two major outcomes were the following:
- Germany, together with its allies, was forced to assume the whole responsibility for all the losses and all the damage caused.
- Germany had to disarm and renounce to some of its territories. Moreover, war reparations were imposed on Germany, in the form of very large money sums, that had to be paid to the victorious contries.
This treaty was not very sucessful in relieving the tensions that had characterized WWI, and its provisions would be connected to the causes of the subsequent WWII.
The founders of the US most likely took ideas from the Romans because their system allowed for the citizens to have a voice in who ran their empire. Considering that the US just broke away from Great Britain when starting a new country, they wanted to ensure that their citizens had a voice. When the Americans were colonists, they had little/no influence on government policies and laws.
The Romans established a republic for very similar reasons, as they had a tyrannical king who they overthrew. With a new start, the Romans created a government where people got to elect political officials, there were term limits for the two consuls, and the Senate (comprising of 300 people) had the chance to make laws. The United States probably saw this as a highly effective system in which multiple voices could be heard, so they based our foundation on the ones created by the Romans.
