Throughout America’s history, there have been many presidents that changed the way this nation runs. Forty-four men have held this incredibly authoritative and respectable position. Perhaps three of the most memorable and influential presidents were George Washington, often referred to as the father of this country, Frederick Delano Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan.

Just two decades after the world’s supposedly greatest war, a greater and more devastating one occurred. World War II, the most costly war in the history of mankind, had a lot of causes leading up to it. One such cause was the Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles was drafted by the Allied Powers after World War I during the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 to ensure that Germany would never rise to become a major military force again. Its multiple provisions required Germany to pay harsh…
