Today, your project will help you grasp the consequences and possible omissions within the Treaty of Versailles. You will prepare a speech to be given to the Big Four: Woodrow Wilson (President of the United States), David Lloyd George (Prime Minister of the United Kingdom), Georges Clemenceau (Premier of France), and Vittorio Orlando (Prime Minister of Italy). In this speech, you will ask for one change to Wilson’s Fourteen Points, or ask for a change to the major agreements built within the Treaty of Versailles. Your speech must be at least 500 words.

Answer 1

Answer:

The theme chosen was "change in the main agreements built in the Versailles Treaty"

Explanation:

Gentlemen, when reading and analyzing the provisions established in the Treaty of Versailles, I felt the need to bring them together so that together we can discuss these provisions so that we can foresee possible harmful consequences for us and for all nations in the world.

Although Germany was one of the main culprits for the establishment of the war that caused us so much harm, I am afraid that the treaty established, will reinforce resentful feelings in the German population, regarding the difficulties that the treaty impose in the recovery of this region.

I fear that these feelings will trigger political and social movements that will stimulate a population revolt that results in yet another conflict to which we will be involved.

With that, I propose that some points of the Versailles Treaty be modified and that the punishments for Germany be milder in some ways. I do not ask for Germany to be pardoned, but for the treaty to propose punishments that allow the population to recover and have a dignified life, because despite the regrets, we are all human beings and in addition to paying for our mistakes, we must be able to maintain our  dignity.
