The ceasefire of November 1918 was called Armistice.
The Versailles Conference began in January 1919 with 32 countries in attendance.
Sir Eric Geddes wanted 'everything you can squeeze out of a lemon, and a bit more'.
The three most important men at the Versailles Conference were Georges Clemenceau, Woodrow Wilson, and David Lloyd George, nicknamed 'The Big Three'.
Georges Clemenceau was the prime minister of France and wanted revenge, punishment, Germany to pay reparations, and for Germany to be weakened.
Woodrow Wilson was the President of America and wanted to make the world safe, end war, have a fair peace, implement the 14 Points, and establish a League of Nations.
The 14 Points were Wilson's ideas for a better world.
The three main ideas of the Fourteen Points were disarmament, League of Nations, and self-determination.
The assembly, where Wilson wanted countries to talk about their problems, instead of going to war, was called the League of Nations.
David Lloyd George was the Prime Minister of Britain and wanted Germany to pay, but not too much, justice, not revenge, not too harsh, and a halfway point.
The Treaty of Versailles had four terms: Land, Army, Money, and Blame (Clause 231).
Clause 231 of the Treaty of Versailles blamed Germany for the war.
Reparations were the money Germany had to pay for the damage done during the war.
The amount of reparations was eventually set at £6,600 million.
The Treaty of Versailles said five things about Germany’s armed forces: Germany was forbidden to have submarines, Germany was forbidden to have an air force, Germany could have a navy of only six battleships, Germany could have an Army of just 100,000 men, and Germany was not allowed to place any troops in the Rhineland.
