===Terms of Peace===

The war ended in the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, but the terms of peace remained unresolved.  The Allies convened at the historic Palace of Versailles outside Paris in January 1918 to discuss peace terms.  The representatives at the Paris Peace Conference included Woodrow Wilson from the United States, David Lloyd George from Great Britain, Vittorio Orlando from Italy, and Georges Clemenceau from France.

President Wilson wanted his “Fourteen Points” adopted as the peace treaty.  His proposal included moving national borders, creating new nations, and allowing ethnic groups to choose their own governments.  His main point (#14) was to create a new entity known as the League of Nations to resolve international conflicts in the future.  The American people never supported the League of Nations and the U.S. Senate never ratified the treaty establishing it; President Wilson died thinking he was a failure.  But less than 30 years later the United States did join a similar entity known as the United Nations, though it remains controversial and many Americans oppose it.
