Answer:
rolling hills hehehehehehe
Explanation:
1. The man in the cartoon as <span>a baby, teenager, young adult, adult, and elderly man is Uncle Sam. The cartoon refers to the United States of America and its government and how it changed throughout the years. You can deduce who this is by looking at the clothes these people are wearing - red, white, and blue, the same colors as the American national flag.
2. The man represents America, as I said, and its expansionist ideology which started as soon as it got its independence from Britain. America fought for a long time for its freedom from its 'mother' and oppressor, and ever since it got what it wanted, it never stopped growing.
3. I believe the message of the cartoon is that America became corrupted over the years while it was looking to expand its territory. It started off as an innocent child, and ended up being a fat capitalist who only thinks about profit. The artist is showing this decline of values in America.
4. The result is that ironically, while America grew bigger and stronger, it also grew more unemotional and corrupt. You can see the final man's facial expression - he looks fat, content, and evil, having conquered everything that could be conquered and taken it for himself.
5. I would say the artist is definitely opposed to imperialism. Just by taking a look at the progression of these people, from an innocent baby, to a not-so innocent child, to a Napoleonic-looking USA, to the great Lincoln, and finally to a fat, cruel capitalist, you can see that the author believes imperialism and America's expansionist nature led it downwards in regards to values, not money.</span>
The greatest difference between the 14 points and the ToV is the blame for the war. In the ToV Germany is blamed for the war and the Treaty is more a sentence than terms of an armistice, to where the 14 points was more a negotiated settlement for an armistice. The 14 points may have included and recognized the new German and would have brought that government into the negotiation process. Many aspects would have been difficult for Germany to agree to but instead of the agreement being forced upon them the new German government would have played a role in the resolution. It was the Germans that first accepted the 14 points for an armistice, knew the terms, and exiled there emperor I believe that there would have been strong support to honor the agreement by the German people. The ToV on the other hand was made to punish the Germans, Breakup the German Empire, and have the Germans pay for the war. It was also made to negate the role played by Wilson and the USA in the war. The ToV also allowed the Allied powers to keep their colonies and only the German colonies were, in some point in time, to be open for autonomous rule. The 14 points might have prevented WW2, the ToV was the punishment that bound the German people together to avenge the disgrace.
I hope I helped!
