On Brainly, it's good to separate into smaller questions than to post a multi-part question. I'll reply to just a couple of your line items, based on Wilson's "Fourteen Points" which he outlined in a speech before Congress on January 8, 1918. Those principles guided his aims when participating in the peace conference at Versailles.

What should happen to colonies of the defeated nations? They should be allowed to govern themselves. That would be in line with Wilson's point 5 -- which stated that at the very least "the <span>interests of the populations concerned must have equal weight with" the claims of any colonial powers. You could also choose "League of Nations oversight" so long as it is assumed that the goal of that oversight is to give the people of the region ability to self-determine their government desire going forward.

What should happen to German armed forces? I'd choose "be reduced to prewar levels" - or less than that, without specifying a number. In general, Wilson wanted ALL nations to pursue a reduction of armed forces. Point 4 of his 14 points desired "a<span>dequate guarantees given and taken that national armaments will be reduced to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety." Wilson did not want Germany to be treated harshly, fearing that would only stoke the coals for resentment and more war. In the end, the Versailles agreement went in the harsh direction. The "no conscription, 100,000 men" answer in the table you showed is what the treaty actually put in place, as well as banning Germany from having an air force.

That's two of your topics. I'll let you work on the others.

Using the sources and your knowledge of U.S. history, explain whether the U.S. policy of containment was effective or ineffectiv

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

effective

Explanation:

The "containment policy" was the U.S. approach to containing, or preventing, the spread of Communism after World War II. The idea was to make other countries prosperous enough to avoid the temptation of communism.

An early test of containment came in Greece and Turkey. In 1946, a civil war broke out in Greece, pitting Communist groups against the British-supported government. At the same time, the Soviet Union was pressuring Turkey to allow it to build naval bases on its northwestern coast, thereby giving the Soviet Black Sea Fleet easy access to the Mediterranean. When Great Britain announced it no longer had the resources to help Greece and Turkey meet the threats to their independence, the United States stepped in. President Truman asked Congress for $400 million in military and economic aid for Greece and Turkey in March 1947. Truman cited the United States' obligation to back free peoples who were resisting control by an armed minority or outside pressures. This policy, known as the Truman Doctrine, appeared to work: The Communists were defeated in the Greek Civil War in October 1949; and the foreign aid helped strengthen the Turkish economy.
