Tonight's HW 3/10/08

Imagine...You are President Wilson, and you are trying to convince the allies not to punish Germany for causing WWI.  

Write a LETTER to one of the leaders of the Allies (Clemenceau - France, Lloyd George - Britain, Orlando - Italy).  Explain why it is important not to punish Germany, and to accept "peace without victory."  

REMEMBER - Do not refer to it as World War I (they had no idea there would be another).  You can call it the Great War if you like.  

Your letter must be AT LEAST one page; typing is preferred.  Email is acceptable, as are posts to Google Docs (the best option!).  

This is worth 25 points, and it's due tomorrow.  Thanks!

Dear Lloyed Georgo,
I am writing this letter to you to ask you a favor. My favor is that you are wiling to accept my idea of Peace Without Victory. That sttares that the U.S. is willing to give germany another chance.We believe that we should make peace with Germany because we do not think having a war is the right decision.I also think they have suffered enough loosing to our army and I do not want to think of them as losers. As president I think that we should all be treated fairly and Equally. This is taken out of my 14points idea and hope this one will go farther than the 14 points. I ask of you to help us come to an understanding between nations and making that a better place to live for us all. We can create a betterr enviironment and a safer place to be peaceful by doing so.

Thank you very much- President Woodrow wilson. Kristina papa 6th period us history.

Dear Llyod George,
It is unfortunate that we have loss many lives in a uncomprehensible conflict, which can be deemed a battle not of wits or bravery but of egotistical and rather unjust decisions. Although As an American it will be my patriotic right to seek justice and revenge in a fight to defend what is considered by many to be a blatant disregard to our American Civilization and exsistence and uphold what we Americans hold true and rightgeous, to protect our Country and our fellow Americans,However,we must find it in our hearts to show the meaning of true herotisim and do what the enemy would least expect. So I ask that the allies not search for revenge but for peace. We will show the German's not cowardness but courage, the courage to stand up and do the right thing for your home country, for this is America the land of FREE and the home of the BRAVE!!!.

Dear Llyod George,
Why engage in a war not based on defense, but on egotistical and unjust decisions. It is a notion that As americans it is our patriotic right to uphold our liberty and freedom.We American citizen's shall try not to seek revenge and defend our country, but I ask of you to show the enemy the action they will less expect of us. It is unfortunate we have loss alot, but we will fight not physically but mentally, we have to be mature so that we shall find peace for our Americans we suffered enough and want to live with peace. Why cause a war that might never end, why put that burden upon our loyal citizens. So therefore I ask for the allies not to seek for vengence but for peace. We are not showing the German's cowardness but courageness by standing up and doing the right thing for your country despite your feelings and opinions, We have to keep the peace for our Country's sake for this is America the land of the FREE and the home of the BRAVE!!.
