Wilson and the Treaty of Versailles — Unit test

Question 6 • Social Studies 8 The US and Louisiana: Industrial Age Through the Modern Era 22237 2025-2026 LEROP EXT [SS]

In which way did the Treaty of Versailles differ from Wilson’s Fourteen Points?

Answer

The treaty did not call for limitations to be placed on Germany’s military as the Fourteen Points did.

Unlike the Fourteen Points, the Treaty of Versailles called for harsh punishments to be placed on Germany.

The Fourteen Points were developed in secret, but the Treaty of Versailles was developed completely in public.

German representatives helped draft the Treaty of Versailles but were not included in the development of the Fourteen Points.

Explanation

Wilson’s Fourteen Points proposed a peace settlement based on principles such as self-determination and open diplomacy. The Treaty of Versailles instead imposed severe penalties on Germany, including military restrictions, territorial losses, and responsibility for war damages. Therefore, the treaty differed by calling for harsh punishments, making choice B correct.
