The Treaty of Versailles!
http://www.apnotes.net/notes-12e/ch31-12e.html
1) Where did American Troops first go and fight during WW1 and why?
To stop Germany from taking Paris and France, 30,000 American
troops were sent to the French frontlines. This was the first
significant engagement of American troops in a European war.
2) What engagement marked the beginning of Germany’s withdrawal
in WW1?
By July 1918, the German expansion was halted and Foch made a
counteroffensive in the Second Battle of the Marne. This
engagement marked the beginning of a German withdrawal.
3) Explain what General John J. “Black Jack” Pershing did to starve
out the HUN! How is this similar to the tactics of William T. Sherman in
the Civil War? (Hint: Think Back!)
The Americans, dissatisfied with simply bolstering the French
and British, demanded a separate army; General John J. Pershing
was assigned a front of 85 miles. Pershing's army undertook the
Meuse-Argonne offensive from September 26 to November 11,
1918. One objective was to cut the German railroad lines feeding
the western front. Inadequate training left 10% of the Americans
involved in the battle injured or killed was assigned a front of 85
miles. Pershing's army undertook the Meuse-Argonne offensive
from September 26 to November 11, 1918 cut the German railroad
lines feeding the western front. As German supplies ran low and
as their allies began to desert them, defeat was in sight for
Germany.
4) When did Germany finally surrender and what were the main
contribution(s) of the United States to the war effort?
Germany surrendered on November 11, 1918, after the Kaiser of
Germany had fled to Holland.
The United States' main contributions to the victory had been
foodstuffs, munitions, credits, oil, and manpower. The Americans
only fought 2 major battles, at St. Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne.
The prospect of endless U.S. troops, rather than America's actual
military performance eventually demoralized the Germans.
5) Discuss in groups what Wilson did after the war, his goals, the
League of Nations…& Look at (skim) The Treaty of Versailles…
THIS WILL LEAD GERMANY INTO WORLD WAR 2!
President Wilson had gained a lot support throughout the world
because he was viewed as the moral leader of the war.
Leading up to the congressional elections of November 1918,
Wilson asked the public to re-elect a Democratic majority in
Congress. He thought it would help him negotiate and pass a
treaty. This angered much of the public, and voters instead
elected a Republican majority to Congress.
Wilson's decision to go to Paris in person to negotiate the treaty
infuriated the Republicans because no president had ever
traveled to Europe.
The Paris Conference was dominated by the Big Four: United
States, Italy, Britain, France. President Wilson (led the
conference) was joined by Premier Vittorio Orlando of Italy, Prime
Minister David Lloyd George of Britain, and Premier Georges
Clemenceau of France.
Wilson's ultimate goal was the creation of the League of Nations.
It would contain an assembly with seats for all nations and a
council to be controlled by the great powers. Wilson envisioned
it as a way to prevent future world wars. In February 1919, Big
Four agreed to include the creation of the League in the treaty.
