Lab Day- To help summarize the war, we will start today by watching a video call The Great War. We will then focus on Woodrow Wilson's 14 Points and the Treaty of Versailles.  With the war over, it was now time for a Peace Treaty. President Wilson traveled to Versailles, France and met with the leaders of England, France, and Italy. Read about the results of that meeting. Once you have finished reading, study the map of Europe in 1914 and the map of Europe in 1919. Notice the big winners and losers. Now, in a paragraph explain why Germany would have been upset with the terms of the treaty. Provide at least 4 specific examples to prove your point.  (A-20) History Social Science Standard 11.4.5 If time permits, we will  then complete a worksheet that examine the League of Nations.
