Peace without Victory & Wilson’s fourteen points
Peace without Victory Reading:
1.What are Wilson's objections to a peace with victory?
Wilson objected to peace with victory because it would mean “peace forced upon the loser, a victor’s terms imposed upon the vanquished”. In other words, the loser would have to oblige by the rules of the winner. The loser would experience a great deal of humiliation and undergo sacrifices so intolerable that it would cause the loosing nation to be filled with so much resentment it could possibly lead to another outbreak of war.
2.According to Wilson, what is the only way Europe and retain stability?
Wilson believed that the only way for Europe to retain stability is if it became a community of powers instead of a balance of powers.
3.What does Wilson think is the most urgent question that affects the future of mankind?
Wilson thinks that the most urgent question that affects the future of mankind is what the war represents. Is it a war fighting for a just and secure peace or is it only a fight for a new balance of power? If the war is about finding a new balance, who can ensure that this new balance of power will be equal?
4.What does Wilson say nations must be willing to do in order for "peace without victory" to succeed?
Wilson says that nations must be willing to establish equality amongst themselves in order for “peace without victory” to succeed because he believes that peace can only last between equals.
5.Wilson says he is presenting his ideas in part due to "a just regard for the opinion of mankind." What important colonial document uses the same words?
Wilson had borrowed the phrase, "a just regard for the opinion of mankind", from the Declaration of Independence.
do you believes the same as what Wilson's believe of "peace without victory"?
DeleteI really like your answer for number 1 it is well thought out and it has good details.
DeletePeace or War Reading:
ReplyDelete1.How did the Allies' version of a peace treaty differ from Wilson's "peace without victory?"
The allies’ version of peace and Wilson’s “peace without victory” differed from each other because they both had different intentions. Wilson had created peace without victory because he wanted all nations to be treated equally which meant that the victors couldn’t punish the losers severely. The allies on the other hand wanted to blame Germany and wanted the Germans to pay severely for all the damage they had created.
2.Why did the Allies object to Wilson's Fourteen Points?
The Allies objected to Wilson’s fourteen points because the damage Germany had inflicted on them simply couldn’t be overlooked. Each leader of the allied powers had also wanted Germany to suffer because they felt that it was what their country would want. If they were to go on and agree with Wilson, the people of their country would be highly upset with them.
3.What was the purpose of the League of Nations?
The purpose of the League of Nations was to prevent another war outbreak. A council was created so that there would be a representative for all of the major nations. In order to maintain peace, arguments would go to the council where they would be addressed and then settled.
4.Why did Clemenceau agree to give Wilson "his" League of Nations?
During the conference meeting between the leaders of the Allied powers, Lloyd George of Britain had question why Wilson should have his League of Nations. Clemenceau had agreed to give Wilson his League of Nations because he thought that the league would prove useful in keeping Germany at a weakened state.
5.How were Germany and Austria-Hungary affected by the treaties ending World War I?
Germany and Austria-Hungary were negatively affected by the treaties that put an end to World War 1. Germany was forced to take blame for starting the war. The colonies in which Germany had established were taken away from them including the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine which were returned to France. The treaties had also required for Germany to disband its army and pay war costs along with reparations which ended up being a total of $32 billion. The economy of Germany was also put under the control of the Allied powers. As for Austria-Hungary, the empire had been disbanded in many ways. A new republic called Czechoslovakia had been created. Serbia had gained more land and became the kingdom of Yugoslavia. Rumania was able to expand its territory at the price of Bulgaria and Hungary.

Peace without Victory Reading:
1. What are Wilson's objections to a peace with victory?
Woodrow Wilson’s famous speech was towards the World War one, the objective on the peace with victory speech basically meant that in the war peace must be made between nations and that at least one nation will have to become losing nation. So America joined its allies in the war to make victory in 1917
2. According to Wilson, what is the only way Europe can attain stability?
According to Wilson, the only way Europe can attain stability is if nations that are involved in the war would become friends. He claimed that nations must become together and form peace no matter how big or small and how weak or strong the nation is, also the fighting for land must come to an end, if the land belongs to that nation, it will stay with that nation. Also Wilson founded the league of nation which would help attain stability in Europe.
3. What does Wilson think is the most urgent question that affects the future of mankind?
According to Wilson the future of mankind expects nothing else but the power of freedom that everyone’s wishes for, the freedom that everyone wants in their life and not focus on counterbalancing other powers which causes war.
4. What does Wilson say nations must be willing to do in order for "peace without victory" to succeed?
Wilson says that nations must come together at once to make peace and that no matter what; one nation will have the outcome as a loser, in this case Germany came our as the losing nation of the war.
5. Wilson says he is presenting his ideas in part due to "a just regard for the opinion of mankind." What important colonial document uses the same words?
The quote “a just regard for the opinion of mankind” was not originated from Woodrow Wilson, this famous quote was originated from the Declaration of Independence document which was signed on July 4, 1776. This document was created by Thomas Jefferson later on edited by the continental congress.
Peace or War Reading:
ReplyDelete1. How did the Allies' version of a peace treaty differ from Wilson's peace without victory?
When Wilson wrote the “Peace without victory” speech, afterwards he wrote the 14 points which were 14 statements that he claimed that nations in the continent of Europe should do in order to create the peace many people wished for between. On the other side allies created the Treaty of Versailles which mainly focused on blaming Germany for causing World War one. So my point is: Wilson’s 14 points didn’t blame any nation In Europe but make nations come together as friends to create peace and the Treaty of Versailles blamed Germany for causing the war and wanting to make a kind of revenge on Germany making that nations pay for its damage caused.
2. Why did the Allies object to Wilson's Fourteen Points?
Allies in Europe disagree in Wilson’s 14 points because in the land of America no damage was caused unlike in Europe where major damaged and millions of innocents were dead. Allies in Europe wanted Germany to pay for the major damage they caused because it just wasn’t fair for Allies to accept the 14 points and Germany to get away.
3. What was the purpose of the League of Nations?
The purpose of the League of Nations was a big impact for the nations for a temporary amount of time. The League of Nations was to make sure nations all around the world would never again make war. For example instead of nations going to war over a cause, they would meet together to negotiate the cause in a peaceful way.
4. Why did Clemenceau agree to give Wilson "his" League of Nations?
Georges Clemenceau decided to give Wilson his League of Nations during a meeting between Vittorio Orland (from Italy), David Lloyd George (from Britain) and Clemenceau (from France) when Clemenceau thought of giving the League of Nations to Wilson because then it will keep Germany’s powerless, so Clemenceau gave his League of Nation to Wilson to mainly keep Germany weak.
5. How were Germany and Austria-Hungary affected by the treaties ending World War I?
Germany had a big impact with treaties at the end of World War one by the Treaty of Versailles which blamed Germany for causing the war and making Germany pay for all the damage they caused which ended up to be over one billions of dollars which caused Germany to build a whole new economy system in order to pay its debt. Austria-Hungary as an empire was completely destroyed because of the war, during the war the empire was broke apart, they also had to start a new economy system because the economy system during World War one was wrecked.

2. According to Wilson, what is the only way Europe can attain stability?
Wilson said the only way Europe can remain stable is if “there must be. not a balance of power. but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized common peace.” What I think Wilson was trying to say is that everything should be organized so that nothing goes out of control. also he talks about the should let the community have a say in what goes on in the country. that every country should have peace with each other and stop all the fighting.

5. Wilson says he is presenting his ideas in part due to "a just regard for the opinion of mankind." What important colonial document uses the same words?

Clemenceau agreed to give Wilson “his” League of Nations because he thought wilson was doing the right thing when he brought it up in the meeting with Allied powers. Also they thought it was a good thing to do because that could keep germany under watch and control of them in what they do. this was to protect other countries and to prevent another war.
10. How were Germany and Austria-Hungary affected by the treaties ending World War I?
Germany and Austria-Hungary affected negatively because germany had to take all the blame for what happened during the war. they also had to give back colonize that they had acquired from battle like Alsace and Lorraine which was to france.

DeleteYour essay answers all the questions pretty well, but I feel you could improve your answer on question 7 in "because they had no forgiveness in their hearts", the phrase seems more like an emotional opinion rather than a factual answer.

Peace without Victory & Wilson’s Fourteen Points:
Peace without Victory Reading:
1. What are Wilson’s objections to a peace with victory?
The reason for Wilson’s objection to peace with victory because in one of the quotes that Wilson made was that a loser would have to obey the rules of the winner. So the loser would face a great deal of humiliation and will do sacrifices, it will be unbearable that it would cause the other nation that lost to be filled with bitterness that it could lead to another outbreak of the war. “Peace forced upon the loser, a victor’s terms imposed upon the vanquished”.
2. According to Wilson, what is the only way Europe can retain stability?
The only way that Wilson believed for Europe to retain stability is if it could become a community of powers instead of being balanced of powers.
3. What does Wilson think is the most urgent question that affects the future of mankind?
Wilson thinks that the most urgent question that affects the future of mankind is the way the war represented. It is a war fighting and secure peace or is it a fight for a new balanced power? If the war is about finding a new balance, who can ensure that the new balance of power will be the same?
4. What does Wilson say nations must be willing to do in order for “peace without victory” to succeed?
Wilson was saying that nations must be willing to go equality for themselves in order for “peace without victory” to be successful because Wilson really believes that peace could only last between equals.
5. Wilson says he is presenting his ideas in part due to “a just regard for the opinion of mankind.” What important colonial document uses the same words?
Wilson got the phrase, “a just regard for the opinion of mankind,” from a colonial document called the Declaration of Independence.
Peace or War Reading:
ReplyDelete1. How did the Allies’ version of a peace treaty differ from Wilson’s “peace without victory?”
Wilson’s “peace without victory” and the allies’ version of peace postponed from each other because they both had different intentions. The reason for Wilson creating peace without victory was because he really wanted all the nations to be treated equally. This meant that the victorious nations could not punish the losers in any way. Then the allies wanted to blame the war on Germany and wanted Germany to pay all the damages that had been made in the war.
2. Why did the Allies object to Wilson’s Fourteen Points?
The reason for the allies objecting to Wilson’s fourteen points was because the damage that Germany had inflicted on the allies could not be ignored. Each leader of the allied powers wanted Germany to suffer because they felt that it was the only thing that their country really wanted. If the leaders of the allied powers agreed with Wilson, a lot of people of the allied countries would be upset with them.
3. What was the purpose of the League of Nations?
The purpose of the League of Nations was to prevent a war outbreak. A council was established so that there would be a representative for all major nations. The way to maintain peace was there were a lot of arguments that would go to the council and would be addressed and settled.
4. Why did Clemenceau agree to give Wilson “his” League of Nations?
During the conference meeting of the Allied powers, Lloyd George from Great Britain had a question on why Wilson should get his League of Nations. After, Clemenceau had agreed to give Wilson its League of Nations because Clemenceau thinks that the League of Nations would prove in keeping Germany at a weakened state.
5. How were Germany and Austria-Hungary affected by the treaties ending World War 1?
Germany was forced to take the blame for starting World War 1. All of the colonies that Germany had established were taken away, including the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine that were returned to France. The treaties made Germany to dissolve its army and pay war costs and reparations, which ended Germany paying a total of $32 billion. Austria-Hungary had their empire being disbanded in many ways, which created a new republic called Czechoslovakia. Serbia gained a lot of land and became the kingdom of Yugoslavia.

I like your "answering style." By that I mean that, you answered the questions in a very clear way. Only one suggestion and I hate doing this but blame Ms.Noce; in question #4 on the Peace or War section, I believe you could've added if Wilson wanted the League of Nations or not and why or why not, because if a person never read packet #9, the answer wouldn't be very clear... but overall very good job! :)
DeleteYou have a good blog. You answered what the question was asking and you used handout #9 to explain your answers really well.

ReplyDeleteGood job Jalexis!! But why didn't you state the name of the document which stated the same words as Wilson? & For question #4 in the second part, do you think there is another more certain reason why Clemenceau agreed to give Wilson his league of nations or just the answer that you had?
DeleteGood job, I like how you got straight to the point and explained it. It was easy to understand and straight forward.

Why do you think Wilson stresses that the nations of the world "get along"?
DeleteI think your anwers are good but a bit confusing. All in all you did well and answered all questions. Maybe it's just for me ab little bit unclear.
DeletePeace Without Victory Reading:
ReplyDelete1. What are Wilson's objections to a peace with victory?
Wilson believes that a peace with victory will involve and even encourage a repression and humiliation of the “defeated” nations who will, in time rise up in hatred and retaliation against the previously victorious. He is for a long-lasting, preferably permanent peace, a “freedom of life (Peace without Victory)” under which to unite, not a reason for future conflict that he believes a peace with victory will involve.
2. According to Wilson, what is the only way Europe can attain stability?
The only way Woodrow Wilson sees that Europe can obtain stability is through an equal conference of nations and organized peace. He is effectively proposing a function similar to the United Nations that will oversee growing conflicts and quell them peacefully and plan together and combine forces towards harmony rather than alliances against enemies.
3. What does Wilson think is the most urgent question that affects the future of mankind?
Wilson expresses his belief that, in order to move forward in a better world, mankind must question the best way to proceed in peace. He finds that the world must pool together and create a fair and just world in which equality is counted over the balance of power.
4. What does Wilson say nations must be willing to do in order for "peace without victory" to succeed?
In his speech, Wilson says that the success of “peace without victory” hinges on the world’s nations ability to set their differences and long-standing rivalries aside and concentrate on human rights and the right of one nation to govern themselves under their own interests, not those of their enemies. In his suggestion of an entity like the United Nations, he articulates his hope that the world can work together in a common goal and avoid another devastating world war.
5. Wilson says he is presenting his ideas in part due to "a just regard for the opinion of mankind." What important colonial document uses the same words? You MAY need external research for this question.
Wilson paraphrased the Declaration of Independence’s words “a decent respect to the opinions of mankind” to use in his speech ‘Peace without Victory’. This decision of borrowing our founding father’s words may have been made to sway more patriotic citizens to agree with him, and to make hid opinions seem more valid having been backed by some of our most respected political ancestors.
I believe that your answers are really good; I see very academic language which is really good to have. Now, I felt a connection with this paper and it was interesting to me to see how the United States fought to stay neutral. Do you think that it should have stayed neutral or no?
DeletePeace or War Reading:
ReplyDelete1. How did the Allies' version of a peace treaty differ from Wilson's "peace without victory?"
The Allies drew up a peace treaty that differed in several ways from Wilson’s idea of “peace without victory”. They were intent on staking their claims on several large portions of land in the defeated countries’ territories. From the Allies’ perspective, they had, after a great loss of resources, citizens and morale, finally won this war that was initially over territory and felt they ought to be able to benefit from their pains.
2. Why did the Allies object to Wilson's Fourteen Points?
It was a firm belief of the Allies that, were they to go along with Wilson’s proposals outlined in his fourteen points, Germany would not feel the punishment they thought that country so deserved. The Allies thirst for a good reason and outcome to have gone to war for took over their objective views of long-term peace.
3. What was the purpose of the League of Nations?
The League of Nations was intended to be an organization to keep peace throughout the world and bring global perspectives under scrutiny. Wilson hoped the League of Nations would allow the world’s countries to think objectively and make decisions with the safety and peace of all countries in mind, not just selfish goals. If the League of Nations worked as expected, international conflicts would become minimal and the energy of war might be redirected towards common goals.
4. Why did Clemenceau agree to give Wilson "his" League of Nations?
Clemenceau finally agreed to concede to Wilson on the matter of the League of Nations because he thought it would make the President stop insisting on the rest of his fourteen points. He also saw the League as an opportunity to punish Germany further and keep them under check and unable to rise up again.
5. How were Germany and Austria-Hungary affected by the treaties ending World War I?
The various treaties following World War I greatly affected Germany and Austria-Hungary. Germany’s colonies and any territories she gained in the war were to be relinquished, Germany must agree to the guilt of instigating the war, disarm and pay reparations to the Allies of what amounted to 32 billion dollars (The Fourteen Points; Postscript). Austria-Hungary also had to submit land: Poland was given independence along with Serbia and the newfound republic of Czechoslovakia. Both countries felt the devastating impact of losing the war.

Peace without Victory Reading:
1. What are Wilson's objections to a peace with victory?
Wilson’s objection was composed by what he saw in World War 1 and how he saw how things would turn out. He made it clear that when it comes to having peace, there must be victory and so there needs to be a victorious side. At this point the Central powers were coming to an end so Wilson’s objection on loosing and not obtaining victory gave a boost to the Americans specifically to the United States; so United States came in and joined the alliance in the search of Peace in Victory.
2. According to Wilson, what is the only way Europe can attain stability?
Wilson said that the only way Europe can attain stability is if somehow they can come together to form a governmental friendship. He wanted to ignore any conflict that opposed his idea and he only focused on this idea of having these countries come together in a friendship. He believed that countries with a friendship meant a strong bond which would build up as a Eurocentric stable control.
3. What does Wilson think is the most urgent question that affects the future of mankind?
Wilsons idea of what is the most argument question that affects the future if mankind is that everyone’s main focus isn’t on anything more than having the ability to be living somewhere and having equal rights, the of course give you the rights and you can be free. Mankind’s vision to look for freedom so that they can do anything that is desirable to them under the law.
4. What does Wilson say nations must be willing to do in order for "peace without victory" to succeed? Wilson
Wilson stated that the nations must be willing to come together and form a Euro Alliance so that there can be a balance between Allies and Central Powers, Europe in general. Wilson’s words went nowhere because doing this would give the victory to the Central powers so Wilsons mind immediately changed and gave the yes to USA to come in the war and seek glory.
5. Wilson says he is presenting his ideas in part due to "a just regard for the opinion of mankind." What important colonial document uses the same words?

Hi Erick, very well written and phrased essay.
DeleteI felt you drifted away a bit on question 4 of "Peace without victory" at the end, I was a bit confused in that final part regarding the answer to the question.
I also feel the answer to question 2 of "Peace or War" could have been elaborated a bit more.

ESSAY:
ReplyDeletePEACE WITHOUT VICTORY

3. What does Wilson think is the most urgent question that affects the future of mankind?
Wilson states that this immensely important question at the time is: “Is the present war a struggle for a just and secure peace, or only for a new balance of power? If it only be a struggle for a new balance of power, who will guarantee, who can guarantee, the stable equilibrium of the new arrangement?”Wilson means that if the war in Europe is a war to achieve a new order of power, who will be the one to keep this new order stable? He thinks that it is up to America to help achieve this balance.
