Woodrow Wilson and Treaty of Versailles

Point 5 says that everyone had to give up their colonies and in the Treaty of Versailles it says that only Germany had to give up their land.

Explain one point that was changed to make Germany pay in the Treaty.

The League of Nations was the association of nations to avoid future wars. Wilson was unhappy because the treaty changed all of his 14 points and he wanted everyone to be a part of it but Germany wasn't allowed to join, so the U.S. refused to join the League of Nations.

Explain the League of Nations. Was Wilson happy with the outcome? Why or why not?

It wanted to punish Germany so Germany was not invited to the conference, had to take responsibility over the war, cut their military, pay war debts, give their colonies to the League of Nations, give back the land they won and couldn't join the League of Nations
