Treaty of Versailles Simulation
When making your T of V you can only negotiate with the same group (odds or evens)
Treaty of Versailles 1
• Heart – Evens
Treaty of Versailles 2
• Heart – Odds
– United States
– Blue
– United States
– Blue
• Club- Evens

Important Vocabulary
• The Big Three: France (Georges Clemenceau),
Great Britain (David Lloyd George), and USA
(Woodrow Wilson)- Italy was there too but we
won’t include them in this simulation
• Reparations: Money the defeated nations
would pay to the victors for damages
• Anschluss: Unification of Germany and Austria
• Demilitarized: removal of military forces
Purpose
• You will negotiate as your assigned country,
with the other two countries, to come up with
a peace treaty to end WWI.
• Remember, you want world peace but you
also want the best deal for your country.
– The Big Three all want different peace terms
• You want to score more points than the other
countries based on what you include in your
version of the T of V
Start of the Simulation
• Pick a leader for your country
• Receive your assigned country scoring sheet
– Do not share with other groups and do not leave
the sheets behind
• Receive a yellow decision making sheet
– One for each student and use as the
planning/rough draft of your decisions
• Receive a purple decision making sheet
– One for each group, this will be where you keep
track of your final negotiations. This will be
turned in at the end of the simulation.
Playing the Simulation
• 10 minutes for each country to plan out their strategy
– What do you want to get the most
– The least
– Which terms will get you the most points
• The rest of the day is for you to go around and negotiate with
the other countries in your group (odds and evens)
• Tomorrow, we will submit our decisions and tally up points
• End with looking at the real aftermath of the Treaty of
Versailles

when he was supposed
to go promote the
Treaty around the U.S.

– If one country is
attacked, the others
have to come help
