Peace Conference of 1919

The Peace Conference of 1919 was a global meeting held after World War I to negotiate treaties and rebuilding efforts. Leaders from the victorious Allies—such as the United States, Britain, France, and Italy—met in Paris to determine how to restore peace, punish the Central Powers, and create new national boundaries. The most famous outcome was the Treaty of Versailles, which imposed strict penalties on Germany. The conference aimed to prevent future conflicts but left unresolved issues that contributed to future tensions. It marked a significant effort to shape a new international order based on diplomacy and collective security.
