Paris Peace Conference And Versailles Treaty The Paris Peace Conference and Versailles Treaty were designed to prevent Germany from ever threatening the world again. This treaty had many strengths and weaknesses. Each state yearned for different things to come out of the treaty of Versailles. Everyone wanted to blame Germany for starting the war, but was Germany really the ignition that started the fire of war' The Allies successfully captured a victory over the Central Powers during World War I. On January 8th, 1918, Woodrow Wilson presented a peace program called the 14 points to Congress. “The idealism expressed in them was widely acclaimed and gave Wilson a position of moral leadership among the Allied leaders (Encarta 2003)”. The Fourteen Points were designed to give Alsace-Lorraine back to Germany, to redraw Austria-Hungary’s borders, to declare Belgium as being independent, to restore Poland as a state, to enforce arms reduction, and to require all treaties to be open and transparent. The most important point was the Fourteenth point which called for the creation of a League of Nations. On October 4th, 1918, the German government asked Wilson for a cease of fire.
