Question 9 • Social Studies 8 The US and Louisiana: Industrial Age Through the Modern Era 22237 2025-2026 LEROP EXT [SS]

Which element of the Treaty of Versailles directly contradicted the principles laid out by Wilson in the Fourteen Points?

Answer
A
the creation of the League of Nations
B
the limitations placed on the size of Germany’s military
C
the secret European negotiations held to develop the treaty
D
the participation of the Big Four in the negotiation of the treaty

Explanation

Wilson’s Fourteen Points called for “open covenants of peace, openly arrived at,” rejecting secret diplomacy. The secret European negotiations used to develop the Treaty of Versailles directly contradicted that principle. The League of Nations reflected another of Wilson’s proposals, while the military limits and Big Four negotiations were not the clearest contradiction of this specific principle.
