*USA joined in 1917- tried to remain neutral but…
1. Germany tried to sink the USA ships

League of Nations  (1920)
-Established to keep the world peaceful
-Failed because there was no way to enforce the decisions
*USA opposed because they wanted to stay neutral and didn’t want to be involved in European government
 
Treaty of Versailles  (1919)
-Harsh conditions on Germany
 - Germany had to decrease military size, reparations, take the blame for the war, give up some of land gained during the war
*USA opposed because we wanted to remain neutral and wanted fighting to end and peace to be established
