Answer:
The biggest difference between Wilson's Fourteen points and the Paris Peace Conference agreement was on how to deal with the war losses and the socio-economic future of Europe.
Explanation:
Woodrow Wilson did not talk about war repatriation or any 'revenge' upon an enemy nation. Instead he spoke about the rights of people, discussed free trade and an end to hostilities and also discussed the formation of a few borders, especially an Independent Polish State and the future of the Ottoman Empire.
This however, did not go down well with the European powers, who had bared the real cost of the war. The French industry had collapsed under German pressure and the country was looking for millions in repatriation costs.
The Russians were not happy with an Independent 'Polish' State and had their own claim to the region.
Eventually, the 14 points were rejected, which many claim, eventually led to the second world war.
Answer:
Maritime trade is when you trade by sea and boat. They had ports that people sailed in and out of. The other civilizations used these ports as well, in the Afro Eurasian zone. The concept of having ports has carried into the modern age as well.
Explanation:
1. The document which is being revised in the cartoon is The Declaration of Independence. This document was created when America wanted to secede from its 'mother country,' Britain. It states that 'all men are created equal and endowed with unalienable rights,' however, it took many years before these rules were truly implemented.
2. The cartoon has been drawn as a reaction to the Spanish-American War and the acquisition of the Philippines for $20 million. America bought the Philippines from Spain against their will, which is why the author has changed the words of the Declaration.
3. One of the men is Theodore Roosevelt; the other one is I believe President McKinley, and I'm not sure about the third man. They are laughing at their creation, obviously happy and satisfied about it. They aren't really thinking about the country or the people they have conquered, but rather only about their personal profit.
4. The shadow watching this is George Washington, the first President of the USA. He is upset and disappointed at his creation and the people who came after him because this is not what he wanted America to become. People fighting over territory/lack of independence/slavery was not his initial vision.
5. The author is obviously against the US acquisition of the Philippines. He believes that this will take away all of the Filipino freedoms, especially given that they just went from being possessed by one superpower to another, and for such a ridiculous price.
6. Both cartoons tell me that America has become greedy for power and new territories and is not likely to stop any time soon. Although today its expansionist ideology has made a pause, its power is still very much present all over the world, and not necessarily in a good way.
