Woodrow Wilson signed the Treaty of Versailles

One of the most important accomplishments of Woodrow Wilson is that he signed the Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles was the most important of World War I's peace treaties. It brought the war between Germany and the Allied Powers to an end. It was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles, exactly five years after Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination, which precipitated the war. The peace pact was signed after six months of Allied discussions at the Paris Peace Conference. The League of Nations Covenant was incorporated into the Treaty of Versailles, which concluded the war with Germany, as well as subsequent peace treaties.

In 1917, the United States declared war on the Central Powers, and President Woodrow Wilson mainly shaped the terms of the peace treaty. His war goal was to divorce the conflict from nationalistic disagreements and goals. Wilson issued the Fourteen Points on January 8, 1918. They outlined free trade, open agreements, and democratic strategy. Wilson had refused to include any major Republican in the Paris talks, and he had rejected a Republican compromise that would have permitted the Senate to adopt the Versailles Treaty and join the League of Nations.
