An extract from President Wilson’s speech to Congress requesting US entry into WW1:\n\n…Peace cannot be had without concession and sacrifice. There can be no sense of safety and equality among the nations if great preponderating armaments are henceforth to continue here and there to be built up and maintained…\n\nAnd in holding out the expectation that the people and government of the United States will join the other civilized nations of the world in guaranteeing the permanence of peace upon such terms as I have named I speak with the greater boldness and confidence because it is clear to every man who can think that there is in this promise no breach in either our traditions or our policy as a nation, but a fulfillment, rather, of all that we have professed or striven for.\n\nThe world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty. We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no dominion. We seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material compensation for the sacrifices we shall freely make. We are but one of the champions of the rights of mankind. We shall be satisfied when those rights have been made as secure as the faith and the freedom of nations can make them. \n\n\nThe entire text of the speech can be found at: http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/ww18.htm

Wilson's idea behind the Fourteen Points was to end the Great War in a way that might not lead to a Second Great War by eliminating what he saw as the systemic problems that led to the war. However, the greatest and ultimately insurmountable problem was the idea of "Peace Without Victors."\n\nOn November 11, 1918, as the guns fell silent, over 8 million men had been killed and literally trillions of dollars of property damage had been done. The damage to France's economic infrastructure was so great that it would not recuperate for decades, even if peace had lasted. The leaders of the victorious allies felt that morally and realistically they could not go to their suffering people and ask them to "chalk this up as a lesson learned." Someone had to pay, and at the end of the day, the war had to have accomplished something, no matter how far of a stretch that might be.\n\nWhen Wilson arrived at Paris for the peace conference, he was hailed all across Europe as a saviour of mankind. At the time, those accolades might even have been heartfelt from the people, but the leaders of the European allies knew the feeling would not last forever. The people had been suffering through four years of privation and nightmare and just wanted the war to end, no matter what the cost. As the years would go by, however, and they saw their neighbor on wooden legs and their children living in squalor, the people would very soon come to believe that their momentary feeling of forgiveness to the enemy was actually a moment of weakness, and come to the realization they had been tricked.\n\nAt Versailles, when Germany had withdrawn its army from France, her government was in chaos, her people in revolution and her allies pulled apart, the Western Allies dictated their terms.\n\n1-The war had to have accomplished something: The War Guilt Clause. Germany was forced to declare that the war had been entirely the fault of her government and their actions. The war had thus stopped a raging tyrant from conquering all of Europe and forcing his will on innocent people.\n\n2-Someone had to pay: Reparations. By declaring that the war was her fault, Germany found herself in the moral position of assuming the financial responsibility for the damages. This was vital to the Western Allies, because Germany was the only member of the Central Powers whose territory was still intact and whose industrial capacity was still in place. Austria, which had actually started the war, was torn to shreds and its industrial facilities were being looted by revolutionaries; the Turkish empire was in the hands of rebelling Arab tribes and occupying armies; Germany was forced to pay because she was the only one who COULD pay. The people of Germany were forced to sign a blank check: the Western Allies literally did not know the exact amount of the damage, and would fill it in later. Because France's economy was in ruins, Germany would pay in products, not in money.\n\n3-The next war had to be prevented: Military Concessions. By declaring that the war was her fault, Germany provbed she had been a danger to the safety of the world. The teeth of the wolf would be pulled. Her army would be gutted, her navy surrendered and she was to be denied the acquisition of modern weaponry. Large swaths of territory adjoining the border with France would be devoid of military activity, both offensive and defensive. Also, this would allow France to militarily occupy productive areas of Germany if she tried to default on her debt (France would occupy the Saar region because Germany had not delivered enough telephone poles that month!)\n\nIn the United States, the Fourteen Points was opposed for different reasons. An earlier answer is partly correct, Henry Cabbot Lodge did oppose the League of Nations in part because he had made a deal with Wilson not to use the War for political ammunition. When Wilson went to the conference he brought no Republicans with him, and when he ret

The Treaty Of Versailles laid down the penalties which Germany had to suffer for starting World War 1 (or you might say for losing WW1). These inlcude penalties in the form of payments of money & resources such as coal, a limit on the size of their armed forces & the prohibition of those armed forces entering certain parts of the country such as the Saarland (a coal rich area).\n\nThe call for the heads of "the Versailles traitors" (ie the beaten German leaders of 1918 who signed the treaty) was one of the slogans which helped the Nazis into power.

"Russia, one of the Allied powers during the war, had problems with its supply routes over sea. The Baltic Sea was locked by the German Navy, while the Black Sea's only entrance was through the Bosporus, which was controlled by the Ottoman Empire."\n\n"By late 1914, the Western Front, in France and Belgium, had effectively become fixed. A new front was desperately needed."\n\n"After the failure of the naval attacks, it had become clear that ground troops were necessary to eliminate the Turkish mobile artillery."\n\nThe Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, "The Anzacs were to land north of Gaba Tepe on the Aegean coast from where they could advance across the peninsula and prevent retreat from or reinforcement of Kilitbahir."

Albert Einstein once define Peace as such "Peace is not merely the absence of war but the presence of justice, of law,of order-in short, of government".\nFor me it is a word that is uttered almost frequently as "truth", "beauty" and "love".Common synonyms for "peace" include "amity", "frienship", "harmony", "tranquility",     "pacification", "repose" and "neutrality".\nThe action of a peacemaker shows love and determination.\n To put an end to a war through an agreement, to decide not to fight enemies or even to stop terrorism demonstrate love and consideration. Hence I do beleive that PEACE IS HAPPINESS and also that PEACE IS LOVE.

The Allies in WWI were almost the same Allies in WWII. Here's the Wikipedia entry on the matter:\n\nWorld War I, also known as the First World War, and (before 1939) the Great War, the War of the Nations, and the War to End All Wars, was a world conflict lasting from August 1914 to the final Armistice (cessation of hostilities) on November 11, 1918.The Allied Powers (led by Britain, France, and, later, the United States) defeated the Central Powers (led by Germany, Austria and the Ottoman Empire), and led to the collapse of four empires and a radical change in the map of Europe.

The Treaty of Versailles (1919) was the peace treaty which officially ended World War I between the Allied and Associated Powers and Germany. After six months of negotiations, which took place at the Paris Peace Conference, the treaty was signed as a follow-up to the armistice signed in November 1918 in Compiègne Forest (which had put an end to the actual fighting). Although there were many agreements to the treaty, one of the more important and recognized agreements required that Germany accept full responsibility for causing the war and, under the terms of articles 231-247, make reparations to certain members of the Allies.\n\nTerms imposed by the Treaty included Germany losing a certain amount of its own territory to a number of surrounding countries, being stripped of all its overseas and African colonies, and its ability to make war again was limited by restrictions on the size of its military. Germany also acknowledged and agreed to respect the independence of Austria. Germany's foreign minister, Hermann Müller, undersigned it on June 28, 1919. The treaty was ratified by the League of Nations on January 10, 1920. In Germany, the treaty caused shock and humiliation that contributed to the collapse of the Weimar Republic in 1933.\n\nConditions\nThe treaty had provided for the creation of the League of Nations, a major goal of US president Wilson. The League of Nations was intended to arbitrate international disputes and thereby avoid future wars. Only four of Wilson's Fourteen Points were realized, since Wilson was compelled to compromise with Clemenceau, Lloyd George and Orlando on some points in exchange for retaining approval of the "fourteenth point", the League of Nations. The common view has been that France's Clemenceau was the most vigorous in his pursuit of revenge against Germany, the Western Front of the war having been fought chiefly on French soil.\n\nOther provisions included the loss of the German colonial empire and loss of some territories Germany had annexed or conquered in the relatively recent past:\n\nAlsace-Lorraine, the territories which were ceded to Germany in accordance with the Preliminaries of Peace signed at Versailles on February 26, 1871, and the Treaty of Frankfurt of May 10, 1871, were restored to French sovereignty without plebiscite as from the date of the Armistice of November 11, 1918. (area 14,522 km², 1,815,000 inhabitants (1905)), \nNorthern Schleswig including the German-dominated town of Tondern Tønder in Schleswig-Holstein, after the Schleswig Plebiscite, to Denmark (3,984 km², 163,600 inhabitants (1920)), \nthe Prussian provinces Posen and (West Prussia), which Prussia had conquered in Partitions of Poland, were returned to the reborn Polish state after the local population had gain its freedom in Great Poland Uprising (area 53,800 km² 4,224,000 inhabitants (1931)) \nHultschin Hulczyn area of Upper Silesia to Czechoslovakia (316 or 333 km² and 49,000 people), \nEast part of Upper Silesia, to Poland (area 3,214 km² 965,000 people), although after plebiscite 60 % voted for Germany \nthe area of German cities Eupen and Malmedy to Belgium \nthe area of Soldau in East Prussia (railway station on the Warsaw-Gdańsk route) to Poland (area 492 km²), \nNorthern part of East Prussia as Memelland under control of France, later transferred to Lithuania without plebiscite. \nin Eastern part of West Prussia and in Southern part of East Prussia Warmia and Masuria, small area to Poland, \nthe province Saarland under the control of the League of Nations for 15 years, after that a plebiscite between France and Germany, \nthe city of Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland) with the delta of Vistula river at the Baltic Sea was made the Freie Stadt Danzig (Free City of Danzig) under the League of Nations. (area 1893 km², 408,000 inhabitants 1929). \nArticle 156 of the treaty transferred German concessions in Shandong, China to Japan rather than returning sovereign authority to Ch

The collapse of the Central Powers came swiftly. Bulgaria was the first to sign an armistice on September 29, 1918. Faced with the opening of a second front in the Austrian rear, Ludendorff and Hindenberg demanded that the government pursue a negotiated peace. On October 3, Germany and Austria-Hungary appealed to President Wilson for an immediate armistice. The sailors of Germany’s High Seas Fleet mutinied starting October 29, and rebellion quickly spread throughout western Germany. On October 30, the Ottoman Empire capitulated. On November 4, the Armistice with Austria was granted to take effect at three o’clock on the afternoon. Austria and Hungary signed separate armistices following the overthrow of the Habsburg monarchy and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.\n\nFollowing the outbreak of the German Revolution, a republic was proclaimed on November 9, marking the end of the monarchy. The Kaiser fled the next day to the neutral Netherlands, which granted him political asylum (see Weimar Republic for details).\n\nOn November 11, an armistice with Germany was signed in a railroad carriage at Compiègne in France where Germans had previously dictated terms to France, ending the Franco-Prussian War in 1871.\n\nAt 11:00 on November 11, 1918, a ceasefire came into effect and the opposing armies on the Western Front began to withdraw from their positions. Canadian George Lawrence Price is traditionally regarded as the last soldier killed in the Great War: he was shot by a German sniper and died at 10:58.\n\nA formal state of war between the two sides persisted for another seven months until it was finally ended by the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919 with Germany, and the following treaties with Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and The Ottoman Empire signed at St. Germain, Trianon, Neuilly and Sèvres. However, the latter treaty with the Ottoman Empire was followed by strife (the Turkish Independence War) and a final peace treaty was signed between the Allied Powers and the country that would shortly become the Republic of Turkey, at Lausanne on July 24, 1923.
