Americans had a huge impact on the end of World War I with the entry into the war as the Allies were at a stalemate with the Axis powers because of the usage of trench warfare.

After the war, the peace settlement that took place was one of the worst agreements. America had the Fourteen Points which was an amazing statement of principles for peace.

Only one of those points was ever considered, and that was the creation of the League of Nations which led to the creation of the United Nations after World War II.

France and Britian wanted Germany to suffer for the war, so they denied the fourteen points and signed the treaty that led to the rise of Hitler and the second World War.

The Treaty of Versailles which blamed the whole war on Germany, as well as forcing them to make payments they could not make, taking away many freedoms, and downright punishing the country.

And as we know, when a country is not stable like this... They will choose the loss of freedoms over economic collapse and that is exactly what happened when Hitler came into play and basically saved Germany from an economic collapse while also starting the biggest world war and the Holocaust.

Yup, history can get very interesting.

Hope this helps!

I. What way was freedom a central idea in the Declaration of Independence

Alika [10]

Hey!!

In the 2nd paragraph of the Declaration of Independence.

“We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable rights, that amount these are life, LIBERTY, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the declaration, greatly admired John Locke.

Locke’s list of natural rights (in which no one can take away) includes the right to property which in his definition, includes Liberty(freedom).

Hope this helps :)

One reason why the winner of the popular vote might not win the presidency is that

Sauron [17]

Due to the flaws on Electoral College, there will always be a possibility that the winner of the popular vote may not win the presidency. This has already occurred four times and the most recent in 2000. This is because of the winner take all factor which means that any votes won by the loser of the popular vote are not replicated in the electoral vote. Like in 2008, Barack Obama won only in the 51 percent of the popular vote in Ohio but still, he won all of Ohio's electoral votes even though most of the Ohioans voted for John McCain.
