By the 1960s, a generation of white Americans raised in prosperity and steeped in the culture of conformity of the 1950s had come of age. However, many of these baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) rejected the conformity and luxuries that their parents had provided. These young, middle-class Americans, especially those fortunate enough to attend college when many of their working-class and African American contemporaries were being sent to Vietnam, began to organize to fight for their own rights and end the war that was claiming the lives of so many.
THE NEW LEFT
By 1960, about one-third of the U.S. population was living in the suburbs; during the 1960s, the average family income rose by 33 percent. Material culture blossomed, and at the end of the decade, 70 percent of American families owned washing machines, 83 percent had refrigerators or freezers, and almost 80 percent had at least one car. Entertainment occupied a larger part of both working- and middle-class leisure hours. By 1960, American consumers were spending $85 billion a year on entertainment, double the spending of the preceding decade; by 1969, about 79 percent of American households had black-and-white televisions, and 31 percent could afford color sets. Movies and sports were regular aspects of the weekly routine, and the family vacation became an annual custom for both the middle and working class.
<span>If I were assigned to propose a treaty ending the Great War in 1918, my goals would be t</span>o establish a world federation that had more power than the League of Nations or even the UN. It would have its own army and the ability to tax nations.
Woodrow Wilson's 14 points were an alternative to the Treaty of Versailles and were excellent post war plans. Germany agreed to all of them and had they been followed would likely have prevented WWII. The reason they were not followed however was because France and Britain thought they were too soft, and the terms of the Treaty of Versailles they thought were more fitting. If this is for school base them off of Wilson's 14.
1. No more secret agreements ("Open covenants openly arrived at").
2. Free navigation of all seas.
3. An end to all economic barriers between countries.
4. Countries to reduce weapon numbers.
5. All decisions regarding the colonies should be impartial.
6. The German Army is to be removed from Russia. Russia should be left to develop their own political set-up.
7. Belgium should be independent like before the war.
8. France should be fully liberated and allowed to recover Alsace-Lorraine.
9. All Italians are to be allowed to live in Italy. Italy's borders are to "along clearly recognisable lines of nationality."
10. Self-determination should be allowed for all those living in Austria-Hungary.
11. Self-determination and guarantees of independence should be allowed for
the Balkan states.
12. The Turkish people should be governed by the Turkish government. Non-Turks in the old Turkish Empire should govern themselves.
13. An independent Poland should be created which should have access to the sea.
14. A League of Nations should be set up to guarantee the political and territorial independence of all states.

Based on these goals and reasons, my treaty would be a little different then Treaty of Versailles.</span>
<span>In retrospect, the goal of the treaty ending the Great War, in 1918, should have been to prevent WWII, which turned out to be worse. </span><span>Unfortunately, the peace treaty that officially ended the conflict--the Treaty of Versailles of 1919--forced punitive terms on Germany that destabilized Europe and laid the groundwork for World War II. So... my treaty would hopefully actually end the Great War without causing, or "just not helping prevent" WWII.</span>
<span>The Treaty of Versailles also included a clause to create the League of Nations. </span>
<span>The US Senate never ratified this treaty. </span><span>Also, the US did not join the League of Nations, despite President Wilson's active campaigning in support of the League. So... hopefully mine would speed up this process.

Great Britain formed when Scotland joined England. The correct option in regards to the question given is option "D". In the year 1707, the treaty signed in the year 1706 got ratified and the parliament of the two countries merged to form Great Britain. The political map of Great Britain includes the England, scotland and Wales combined. It does not include the country of Northern Ireland. Great Britain has a maximum number of people from the Christian community. It is also considered as one of the powerhouse of the modern world because of its financial and military might.
