Wilson thought that some of the very things that were adopted in the Treaty of Versailles could lead to another way -- and they did.  Things like:

  • making Germany accept responsibility for the war
  • imposing huge financial reparation penalties on Germany
  • making Germany  essentially eliminate its military

-- these were all ideas that the Treaty of Versailles included, over Wilson's objections.

The Treaty of Versailles, which came out of the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, was very punitive towards Germany.  Germany was forced to admit responsibility for causing the Great War (World War I).  We now call that "the war guilt" clause of the treaty.  The German military had major restrictions imposed on it -- it had to be a volunteer military only, of no more than 100,000 men, and they could not have an air force. Germany also was forced to pay large reparation payments to the Allies (who opposed Germany in the war).   The German economy and national pride were deeply wounded.  The Great Depression was worse in Germany than in America.  The bad situation in Germany made it possible for a radical leader like Hitler, making all sorts of bold promises, to win over enough people to rise to power.  Hitler promised a return to national greatness and fiercely rebuilt Germany as a military machine.  The rise of Hitler and the Nazis brought about World War II in Europe.

US President Woodrow Wilson had come into the Paris Peace Conference with other views.   Wilson had set forth his views in a speech he delivered to Congress in January, 1918, his "14 Points" speech.  The 14 Points were his proposals for how to end the Great War (World War I) and establish international peace.

Quickly summarized, these were Wilson's 14 points:

  1. Agreements between countries must be open, not secret.
  2. Freedom of navigation on the seas by all nations at all times.
  3. Free trade between countries accepting the peace, removing economic barriers between them.
  4. All nations reduce their weapons and armies "to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety."
  5. Adjustment of colonial claims in a fair and impartial way.
  6. All German troops will leave Russian territory.
  7. All foreign troops leave Belgium, and Belgian independence and sovereignty be restored.
  8. French territory should be restored, including the disputed region of Alsace-Lorraine.
  9. Readjustment of the borders of Italy "along clearly recognizable lines of nationality."
  10. Austria-Hungary retain a place among the nations, but the peoples of Austria-Hungary should be granted the accorded for independence if they so choose.
  11. The Central Powers' troops will leave the Balkans, and the Balkan states  should enjoy political and economic independence.
  12. Turkey shall remain as its own country, but other nationalities under the Ottoman Empire "should be assured an undoubted security of life" and "opportunity of autonomous development."
  13. Poland is to be an independent country.
  14. "A general association of nations must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike." - I quoted the 14th point in full, as this idea from Woodrow Wilson led to the formation of the League of Nations.  That was one idea of his that the Treaty of Versailles adopted.

1. Which of the following pieces of legislation was also known as the Wagner Act? A)the National Recovery Act
dsp73

1- The correct answer is C. The National Labor Relations Act was also known as the Wagner Act.

The National Labor Relations Act, also called the Wagner Act, was a federal law of the United States issued in July 1935 to limit the reactions of employers against workers who formed unions, collectively offered their services, joined strikes, or performed similar acts of defense of their rights in concerted form, whether forming a union or without it.

This act was not applicable to workers subject to special regimes: railway workers, agricultural workers, domestic workers, independent contractors, or workers of the federal or state government, these had their own rules.

2- The correct answer is D. The New Deal had some impact on bringing about an end to the Great Depression.

New Deal was the name given by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to his interventionist policy put in place to fight against the effects of the Great Depression in the United States. This program was developed between 1933 and 1938 with the objective of supporting the poorest layers of the population, reforming financial markets and revitalizing a wounded American economy since the crash of 1929 due to unemployment and bankruptcies.

The fight against the crisis lasted until the United States mobilized its economy with the Second World War. The success of the New Deal is undeniable on the social level. The policy carried out by President Franklin D. Roosevelt changed the country through reforms and not through a revolution. On the other hand, the programs of the New Deal were openly experimental, manifestly perfectible, and given the costs of this process, there could be preferred a more complete change program. However, the imperfect nature of the New Deal allowed a constructive criticism and a more deliberate reflection that opened the way to an improvement of American democracy in the following years and which lasts until today.

Why can we see the moon during a full moon when it is behind the Earth
goldenfox [79]

We can see the moon during the full moon when it is behind the earth because of the way it orbits around the earth.

Explanation:

  • The moon orbit around the earth at a tilted angle to the orbit of the Earth around the sun.
  • Furthermore, during the full moon, the moon will exhibit either behind or at the top of the earth's shadow.
  • Because of the tilted orbit, when it is behind the earth's surface it is away from the earth's shadow with the exception during the Lunar eclipse.
  • During the Lunar eclipse, it is easier to see the earth's shadow as it slowly covers the moon's surface.
