Question

Explain why the Treaty of Versailles was so different from Wilson’s fourteen-point plan.

Answer 1

Answer with Explanation:

The "Treaty of Versailles," just like "Wilson's fourteen-point plan," was a peace treaty that tried to bring the World War I to an end. However, it was different in a way that it was considered "too harsh" to Germany. Included in the treaty was for Germany to accept their responsibility in causing the war. It also obliged them to pay reparations that were too excessive (132 billion marks).

On the other hand, Wilson's fourteen-point plan was more diplomatic in nature. He separated the tolerable and intolerable parts of the treaty. His proposal was more practical in terms of allowing the world to attain world peace in its future.

Thus, this explains the answer.
