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.
The origins of the War of 1812 (1812-1815), between the United States and the British Empire and its First Nation allies, have been long debated. There were multiple factors that caused the US declaration of war on Britain:[1]
A series of trade restrictions introduced by Britain to impede American trade with France with which Britain was at war (the US contested the restrictions as illegal under international law).[2]
The impressment (forced recruitment) of seamen on US vessels into the Royal Navy (the British claimed that they were British deserters).
The British military support for American Indians who were offering armed resistance to the expansion of the American frontier to the Northwest Territory.
A possible desire by the US to annex some or all of Canada.[3]
Implicit but powerful was a US motivation and desire to uphold national honor in the face of what they considered to be British insults, such as the

Answer:
Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938
Explanation:
The Supreme Court had been one of the major obstacles to wage-hour and child-labor laws. Among notable cases is the 1918 case of Hammer v. Dagenhart in which the Court by one vote held unconstitutional a Federal child-labor law. Similarly in Adkins v. Children's Hospital in 1923, the Court by a narrow margin voided the District of Columbia law that set minimum wages for women. During the 1930's, the Court's action on social legislation was even more devastating.3
New Deal promise. In 1933, under the "New Deal" program, Roosevelt's advisers developed a National Industrial Recovery Act (NRA).4 The act suspended antitrust laws so that industries could enforce fair-trade codes resulting in less competition and higher wages. On signing the bill, the President stated: "History will probably record the National Industrial Recovery Act as the most important and far-reaching legislation ever enacted by the American Congress." The law was popular, and one family in Darby, Penn., christened a newborn daughter Nira to honor it.
As an early step of the NRA, Roosevelt promulgated a President's Reemployment Agreement "to raise wages, create employment, and thus restore business." Employers signed more than 2.3 million agreements, covering 16.3 million employees. Signers agreed to a workweek between 35 and 40 hours and a minimum wage of $12 to $15 a week and undertook, with some exceptions, not to employ youths under 16 years of age. Employers who signed the agreement displayed a "badge of honor," a blue eagle over the motto "We do our part." Patriotic Americans were expected to buy only from "Blue Eagle" business concerns.
In the meantime, various industries developed more complete codes. The Cotton Textile Code was the first of these and one of the most important. It provided for a 40-hour workweek, set a minimum weekly wage of $13 in the North and $12 in the South, and abolished child labor. The President said this code made him "happier than any other one thing...since I have come to Washington, for the code abolished child labor in the textile industry." He added: "After years of fruitless effort and discussion, this ancient atrocity went out in a day."
