Woodrow Wilson saw what the war had done to all the countries in which it took place and noticed the outcome of it, disaster. It made it clear for all the affected countries the power and strength an alliance brought, respectively he inferred that there would be no greater alliance than the whole world, which makes sense. Not all the world was affected by the war, but the majority of the countries had some effect in it. The strength the English, French and Americans brought together shut down the power that was meant to dominate the world. Unfortunately the majority of the countries at the time didn't admire this idea as much as Woodrow, but never the less the league was formed. The League of Nations would have worked, was it not missing three pieces to the puzzle, Russia, America and Germany. Russia was excluded by the rest of the countries for suffering from the communist disease, Germany refused to join as it was in disarray and unhappy, and at the end the U.S. congress called off their participation in European affairs which in turn took the 3 biggest powers out of the equation, nullifying the security that it would really bring.

The Big three consisted of Britain, France and the United States, they we're looking for some common things such as: Germany to be "Weaker" (Not a threat), for them to pay reparations and they wanted to take some land away from them that they had acquired during the first World War. Germany suffered some army bans such as no navy or air force, a limit of 100 000 man army. On the American side, president Wilson wanted his list of 14 points to be fulfilled. Great Britain, along with the U.S. wanted Germany constrained but re-built to become once again a trading partner but also were looking to potentially expand their empire. France was having other ideas, led by George Clemenceau, France was looking for Germany dismembered. France wanted Germany to pay severe reparations and weaken them so they could never make a war ever again. Italy remained neutral despite the alliances with Germany, 1915 it allied with the Allies, the Allies in turn gained power in the secret treaty of London, they would gain numerous territories, in one of the conferences Orlando was refused some territories and with the worry of Italy's imperial ambitions, he in turn turned them down and left the conference in rage. ( Vittorio Orlando) My name is Enrique Robinson Bours, I was born in Monterrey, Mexico but I've lived most of my life in Guadalajara, Mexico. I used to be a very sporty guy and am recently working out again. I've never really felt comfortable at home wether at school or in social events until I went to a summer camp in the US which helped me realize who I am and how I should be myself. I've been a huge fan of video games since I was around the age of 5 and would not change my passion for gaming over anything except for a job in acting. I actively play video games and follow professional gamers and gaming events. My great grandfather, (He's 86) is the person who made me interested in history, by talking to me about the 20th century history, I never found much of the pre 1900s history too interesting, but never the less I am glad to have learned it. I like to cook myself food when I have the chance, and have a weak spot for sweats in my life. Since I moved to Shawnigan my life has taken many different turns, but I could not be happier of the direction my life is heading with the boys in Lake's house and the amazing people in the school community. Now with these big steps of my life right around the corner I have to continue to remind myself all of this so I make the right decisions for me. |
