Paris Peace Conference

 * The **Paris Peace Conference** was the gathering of representatives of all countries involved in WWI, to decide the fate of Europe, most notably, Germany. The **Big Four**countries, the U.S., Great Britain, France, and Italy, had the most say in the terms set forth after WWI.
 * Woodrow Wilson, President of the **United States**, wanted to see his **//14 Points//**, or list of terms to resolve WWI and future wars, adopted by the representatives at the conference. The //**14** **Points**// included free trade, freedom of the seas, reduction of military weapons, etc. He strongly urged the creation of the //**League of Nations**//, an international organization that would prevent future wars from happening.
 * David Lloyd George, Prime Minister of Great Britain, wanted:
 * ensure France's security
 * reduce the size of the German Navy
 * settle territorial disagreements (Poland, Yugoslavia, etc., becoming their own States/countries)
 * support Woodrow Wilson's //League of Nations//
 * George Clemenceau, Prime Minister of France, simply put, wanted to punish Germany as much as possible militarily, economically, and strategically. Clemenceau thought Wilson's //**14 Points**//went too easy and Germany and therefore wanted nothing to do with them.
 * Vittorio Orlando, the representative for Italy, wanted to gain the territory that was promised to Italy by the Allies before they joined forces.

 * **Germans resumed unrestricted submarine warfare**by attacking enemy ships carrying contraband and civilians; this greatly upsets U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and the U.S.
 * **Zimmerman Telegram** - the British intercept and decode a telegram sent by German government to Mexican government to try and provoke Mexico to attack the U.S. and divert our attentio from the war in Europe
