Question

Which idea did Wilson oppose during the treaty meetings at Versailles? (5 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

Reparations from Germany.

Explanation:

The Treaty of Versailles was produced as a result of the peace treaty drawn up to stop the First World War. But more important than that, it accuses the nation of Germany as the sole reason for all the loss of life and damage, solely putting the blame on the European nation.

But despite the agreement, President Woodrow Wilson did not seem to agree with the treaty points laid out. One such point is the need to make Germany pay for all that it had caused. Contrary to his famous "Fourteen Points" speech where he stressed the need for "peace without victory", the treaty blamed Germany and made her pay for the damage. His proposed scheme of peaceful negotiations between the parties failed with the demand for reparation payments from Germany.
