Heading into the Paris Peace conference, many countries were hopeful for the future of Europe. Witnessing four long, years of brutal war had taken its toll on all countries especially France. Going into the Paris Peace Conference the European Allied Powers sought revenge on Germany, but due to the U.S.A they were not as successful as they would have liked to be. Woodrow Wilson and his negotiators successfully repressed the hell bent French from completely decimating Germany. Many countries afterwards felt cheated on both sides as some thought they had been punished to harshly, while others felt they had not been punished hard enough.

(doc 2) The rise in the stock market in the United States can be attributed to all of the loans being made, and goods being sold to the Central Powers, and Triple Entente during World War I. Going into the Peace Conference the United States would want to keep this increase in their economy, and would seek to create good economies for the other nations so as to get their loans back, and continue to make money. It is natural that the stock market would rise during a time of war, as the government would put more money into the production of goods, which created more jobs, and more money. In an article from Maynard Keynes, an English economist, he scathes how nothing was done properly to create a better economy for the countries of Europe. (doc 1) Now Mr. Keynes does bring up a good point, but he does not acknowledge all of the countries self interests, which prevented anything from being done. Woodrow Wilson in his fourteen points lays a plan out clearly, and simply that would have saved Europe, but they did not want to hear it. Had it been listened to the European economies could have been saved, and prevented World War II. In addition to this, he also does not recognize that the United States would like to receive its loans of millions of dollars back.

In Woodrow Wilson’s address to congress on his Fourteen points he discusses how the world wants peace, and the United States wants peace, and that the time is now for the U.S.A to join this effort. (doc 3) Up until this point in history the United States had practiced isolation from the world, but Woodrow Wilson saw this as an opportunity to join the world stage as a leading power. They had all the reason to as they would be the number one country in the world economically, and militarily if they had take the center stage, but many people at home said no to this, thus forcing the United states to keep isolating itself by not joining the League of Nations. In is natural that Wilson would want U.S.A. to join the world stage, as he wanted peace for the world, and the only way he saw this possible is if the United States helped contribute to the peace. In a map depicting the alliances of the world in World War I, 1917 published by the BBC Encyclopedia in 2013, it shows how involved the whole world became involved. (doc 7) In Woodrow Wilson’s fourteen points he discusses how secret alliances, and a League of Nations of the world should be created to prevent war, and keep peace. Now if he had been allowed to do so, both the Triple Entente, and Central Powers that had caused the war in the first place would
