Treaty of Versailles DBQ Preparation
Permalink   

To help you prepare for the DBQ tomorrow, I have collected some links that may help you study.  For instance, why did the US Senate reject the treaty and what was its result?  Or you could click here to read more about the Wikipedia article on the Treaty of Versailles.   You can also look here for an outline of the main points of Wilson and the Senate concerning the potential ratification of the treaty.  This website from the Organization of American Historians has a brief biography of the main people involved in the ratification debate, a timeline of events and a list of primary source documents concerning the debate.  This site offers a brief explanation of the whole debate over ratification.  This site specifically lists the reservations many leading senators had concerning the treaty itself.  This document includes Senator Lodge’s reservations along with comments against the ratification of the treaty.  What did Woodrow Wilson have to say about ratification of the League of Nations?  This site contains a speech by him on the matter.  Some senators had different opinions and Senator Reed of Missouri summarizes some of his on the ratification debate here.  This site from the Harvard Gazette includes a synopsis of the great debate between Senators Lodge and Lowell concerning the ratification of the treaty.  Directly from the US Senate itself comes a very brief description of Lodge’s concerns on the League of Nations debate as well as some classic speeches from senators on the debate.  This site contains very brief quotes from senators concerning their opinions on the debate.   Hopefully these links provide you with some background reading and information.  If you have questions or comments concerning the DBQ or the sites above, let me know.  Share some of your thoughts here as well to help each other prepare for the DBQ.  Thanks!

You're a good man, Curt.

Alright, I just finished my Calculus hw, and so far I've only checked out the last 3 links, but I found the "very brief quotes" good for a quick read on what different people thought, though it'll be confusing unless you know who people like Senator Borah (2nd to last link = sweet!), Senator Lodge, and others are.

Steven, if I knew anything about that, I would help, but sadly I don't, so now I need to study for my latin test as well. Sorry! But the links are really helpful for the perspectives of many people, but I don't think it mentioned anything about race...

In the general populace, opposition developed among various ethnic groups. German-Americans became angry as it became evident that Wilson had given up on his fight to treat Germany leniently; he had held firmly to his vision of the League of Nations and secured recognition of that body in the peace treaty in return for allowing the other Allied powers to extract vengeance on Germany. Italian-Americans had generally been pleased when Italy had switched to the Allied side in 1915, but were irate to find that Wilson opposed expansionist plans at Fiume. Irish-Americans were unhappy that the president had championed the cause of so many ethnic minorities in Europe, but had failed to embrace Irish independence. Further, many Americans who lacked strong ties to the Old World were exhausted by the war, tired of the wrangling over peace and anxious to get back to domestic pursuits.

Not much but thats from the 5th link i believe.
