This is my website for my final project for Professor
Setear's "How We Get Into Wars" class (Fall 1999) at the University of
Virginia School of Law. My project is primarily a comparison between
Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points speech from January 8, 1918 and the Treaty
of Versailles signed on June 28, 1919. My goal is to explore whether
and to what extent the Treaty ending the "Great War" was consistent with
the internationalist principles Wilson had strongly advocated before the
end of the fighting.
This site is composed of three main parts:
A) the text of my paper
B) two brief side-note pages, one on the personalities of the main negotiators and the other on my personal conclusions, and
C) annotated links to other related topics for further
information and depth.
I hope this will be a useful tool to future students
and others researching topics about the Fourteen Points and the Treaty
of Versailles. Though citing to a third-year law student as an authoritative
source is probably not a wise idea, at least the annotated web bibliography
from the links page should point you in the right direction on how to find
reliable information, and ideally, it will save you some time as you focus
your search.
