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 allies,
we are all created equally,we shouldn't punish Germany for causing the great war. we need peace without victory, if we fight then there's just going to be another great war. lets try to fix the things up that started the great war. if nationalism, imperialism, alliance systems,and militarism started it then by having the fourteen points its a way of not letting this happen again. the allies enforcing the fourteen points will prevent another great war. another war is not the choice to victory but the fourteen points are. you don't want to see your people suffering like they did in great war, who knows you might even loose someone you love so don't let this happen to you and later regret it.
sincerely,
U.S.A president Wilson Woodrow

Dear Clemenceau,
It would be of best interest not to punish Germany.
We as other nations should not punish the Germans for the damaged they caused because we want peace now.
We do not want to make one nation fell worse then they already do.
If we gang up on them now, they might rebel once more and lead us into another war.
We must accept “peace without victory”.
For us to accept what they did without punishing them will only make us stronger in the end.
Besides it would be unfair to make Germany look worse then they already are and to humiliate them.
Please consider my idea.
Sincerely,
Woodrow Wilson
