Today you participated in a WWI Peace Conference in which you were assigned a country to represent on the eve of the First World War. Of course, this conference never happened, but even if it did, it would have been very difficult for the countries involved to abandon their foreign policy and national interests to pursue any sort of agreement to prevent the start of the war. Don't forget that you're writing your Unit 1 Final Exam on Monday. You can find the study guide below.
