1 Big Picture Question About the US & End of WWI Why did the US fail to Ratify the Versailles Treaty and how did this impact on US Foreign Policy? Directions: See pages in text as well as internet as needed for context on Wilson, the Treaty of Versailles and US failure to ratify the treaty. Discuss questions on each slide in small groups and be ready to share your answers with whole class.

2 Woodrow Wilson as the US Enters WWI in spring, 1917: I will not cry peace as long as there is wrong in the world America was born to exemplify the devotion to righteousness which is derived from the Holy scriptures Our foreign policy must be concerned with human rights rather than property rights. The force of America is that of moral principle. America s mission has always been to realize an ideal of liberty, provide a model of democracy and moral principle for the world, uphold the rights of all men lead the thinking of the world and promote peace. We must fight a war to end all wars and make the world safe for democracy. #1: What do the quotes illustrate about President Wilson s Point of View on why US entry into WWI in 1917 was needed?

3 Which of the cartoons demonstrated Wilsons Point of View? Why? Wilson #2: Both cartoon are drawn following the end of World War I during the Treaty of Versailles negotiations in 1919.

4 Wilson #3: This cartoon is drawn following Wilson s 14 Points speech proposing ideas he believed would promote world peace when the war ends. Explain why the cartoon would appeal to an isolationist audience after WWI.

5 #4: This cartoon was drawn when Wilson returned from the lengthy Versailles Treaty negotiations in By the time he returned, Republicans (the GOP) had won a majority Congress. Why is this context important in understanding the meaning of the cartoon?

6 Article X of the League of Nations Covenant The Members of the league shall undertake to respect and preserve against external aggression the territorial integrity and political independence of all Members of the League. In case of any such aggression or threat of aggression, the League shall have an obligation to advise how peace shall be maintained Any war or threat of war affecting any member of the League is a concern to the whole League, the League shall take action to safe guard the peace of nations if arbitration by the League in case of aggression is not successful, military intervention may be necessary under the control of the League Council. #5: This controversial section of the Treaty of Versailles illustrates the concept of collective security. Why would Wilson support this concept? Why would many in the US oppose this concept following WWI?

7 #6: An opponent of Article X, the League of Nations and collective security would agree with the POV of this cartoon. Why?

8 Wilson on his national speech tour: This election (1918 presidential election) is to be a national referendum The chief question that is put to you, of course, is do you approve of the League of nations as organized and empowered by that covenants of that Treaty? Do you wish to see the United States play its responsible part in the world? Route of Wilson s Pro League of Nations Speech Tour Our founding fathers thought America to be the light of the world and a leader in the assertion of the rights of peoples and free nations This light the opponents of the League would squelch. #7: What was the purpose of Wilsons 1920 speech tour? How did Wilson s approach to attempting to gain support for the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles in 1920 show his progressivism?

9 #8: What do the cartoon and quote tell you about the results of the Treaty of Versailles ratification debate in the US Senate? Wilson: I will not play for position (compromise) Let Lodge (leader of Senate Republican opposition) compromise Let Lodge hold out the olive branch I will stand squarely behind the League covenants and I can stand defeat. I cannot stand to retreat from conscientious duty

10 #9: What does the graphic reveal about the effectiveness of the Treaty of Versailles (and League of Nations) in maintaining world peace after World War I?
