Delian League

treaty opens with, “from coming into force with the present treaty, the state of war will terminate from that moment, and subject to the provisions of this treaty official relations with Germany and its German states.()” After outlining the tasks the League of Nations are expected to fulfill, the treaty continues to express in over 200 pages restrictions which only apply to Germany. It began with Germany’s borders. To start, Germany must relinquish all control over Belgium and Luxemburg.…

The most basic deficiency the Treaty of Versailles had was that when the German made a request for peace after their surrender, they believed that the treaty would be more like the Woodrow Wilson’s well known “Fourteen point”, which were more reasonable and diplomatic. On June 8, 1918, Woodrow Wilson presented his vision to Congress of an after war world that had “diplomatic relation, multilateral demilitarization, facilitated commerce, opportunity of the oceans, and settlement of question by…

Despite President Woodrow Wilson influencing and starting up the League of Nation the United States of America not being apart of the organization was a huge deficiency because the legitimacy and power the United States had. Why was the United States not apart from the League of Nations? President Woodrow Wilson would have had to convince the Senate to approve of the U.S. joining the League of Nations and at the time the United States practiced a policy of isolationism, the belief that they…

Germany” but Wilson’s plan didn't include any of those things (Staff).Wilson’s whole plan failed but it was the basis for the new treaty called Treaty of Versailles. The treaty only included 5 out of fourteen of Wilson points. They were a creation of League of Nations, countries would receive their independence, Poland would be created and no seas blockades. The treaty did little to advance Wilson's quest to establish freedom of the seas, free trade between nations, and military disarmament”…

Peace Conference and with it the groundworks for an effective peace with the creation of a League of Nations. The League would serve as an international parliamentary system responsible for the maintenance of peace through a system of collective security, whereby external aggression against a member nation would be perceived as an act of war against the whole body of nations. A new world order led by the League of Nations, Wilson argued, would see Europe peacefully through the 20th century.…

Ca ching! That is the sound of millions of dollars going into Messi's, a famous soccer player, bank account. While other people are unemployed, he, other professional athletes, and entertainers make millions of dollars a year. I do not agree that professional athletes and entertainers should earn large sums of money because America is in an economic crisis, they do not teach Americans valuable lessons, and also the money could be used for medical research. I feel that professional athletes and…

The first of many erroneous mistakes made by Wilson in his attempts to have the Treaty of Versailles ratified by Congress. Desperate for retention of a Democratic majority in legislation in preparation for the Paris Peace Conference, Wilson went against the popular notion that “politics stops at the water’s edge” in 1918 when he called out the Republican party in speech in an effort to win votes for the Democratic party in the upcoming midterm election. Wilson distastefully blamed the…

The second World War was the biggest war in human history. The war started in 1939 and lasted until 1945 when the United Nations won the war. There are over 60 million people who died in this war, including many civilians. Those civilians died from bombings, diseases and tests for chemical weapons. This is insane! There were many events that happened during the Second World War, most of them were bombings, like the Pearl Harbor incident. Many of the wars were instigated by the Axis Alliance,…

In Woodrow Wilson’s war message of 1917, Wilson addresses to Congress the recent war events going on with Germany. His goal of the speech is to urge Congress to declare war on Germany. Throughout the speech his main points cover how Germany has been attacking America, ways to end the war, and how Russia is also a threat to America. In the structure of the speech, Wilson provides audience with evidence of attacks and ways to resolve the situation, which helps him convince the audience that the…

Chapter 29 discuss the effects after the war, the influenza pandemic of 1918, Wilson's 14 points, the peace treaties, the league of Nations, self-determination and the mandate system. In today's discussion I will be talking about Wilson's 14 points, that was proposed after the war. Wilson's 14 points were 14 goals of the United States, proposed by President Woodrow Wilson in the peace negotiations after World War I. These principles were outlined in a speech in 1918 to Congress. The 14 points…
