I finished off the "Allied Victory in WWI and Paris Peace Conference" presentation today. I went through Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points as well today. We started an activity from your course books called "Making Peace" which should help you to understand more the national interests, goals and objectives of key participants at the Paris Peace Conference, namely Wilson, Clemenceau, and Lloyd George. We were interrupted by the fire drill, so we'll have to finish off this activity tomorrow.
