Answers to #1:
Raphael Lemkin's definition of genocide was not accepted until after the Holocaust.
Raphael Lemkin had been studying the problem of mass killings of a people group since the 1920s, in regard to Turkish slaughter of Armenians in 1915. He coined the term "genocide" in 1944, in reference then also to the Holocaust. The term uses Greek language roots and means "killing of a race" of people. Lemkin served as an advisor to Justice Robert Jackson, the lead prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials. "Crimes against humanity" was the charge used at the Nuremberg trials, since no international legal definition of "genocide" had yet been accepted. Ultimately, Lemkin was able to persuade the United Nations to accept the definition of genocide and codify it into international law. In December, 1948, the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which made use of a number of Lemkin's ideas on the subject.
#2: For item #2, you didn't ask a question, so I won't attempt to guess at what question you might have in mind. The definition as you quote it comes from Article II of the UN's Genocide Convention. Article III also indicts intention and conspiracy to commit genocide as crimes against international law. Article IV of that same Convention then puts teeth into the UN's action, saying, "Persons committing genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in article III shall be punished, whether they are constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials or private individuals."
During the Civil War, it was much easier for the North to obtain and manufacture items that were needed. Certain items during this time were very crucial and important for war, like weapons, clothes, medical supplies, and other things that were needed in abundance. The North definitely had an advantage during this time, as they had larger cities which contained industries which made much needed items.
Gunpowder was obviously needed during this time, but its ingredients had to be imported. Since the North controlled the main ports, they would get much more gunpowder and even some other items from outside forces.

Answer:
At the Paris Peace Conference, President Wilson argued that Germany should be forced to pay reparations to the Allies.
Explanation:
The Pariz Peace Conference of 1919 was a conclave in which the victorious powers of World War I met to outline the conditions under which the peace that would conclude said conflict would be signed. These four nations were America, Britain, France and Italy, who had different positions, ambitions and requirements.
Of all these nations, America, represented by President Wilson, was the one seeking a more just and lasting peace. Thus, although it identified Germany as the aggressor nation and condemned it to pay the corresponding war reparations, it did not seek the total dismantling of the economic and productive capacity of Germany, as if it were done by France, Italy and to a lesser extent Britain, who saw Germany as a threat to their own interests and sought, in addition to paying reparations, other types of harsher sanctions.
