Warm Up: What is a Treaty? What are the consequences of a

treaty?

Page 2: Treaty of versailles

In November 1919, the major countries that fought in World War I came together in France to make and sign a treaty. A treaty is an agreement that is signed by at least two countries and establishes rules those countries must follow. The treaty signed by these countries was designed to officially stop fighting and establish what the world was going to look like after World War I. Because the conference took place in a palace called Versailles, the conference came to be known as the Versailles Conference and the document they signed was called the Treaty of Versailles. Today, you and your classmates will conduct a simulation that is designed to reflect the real life Treaty of Versailles.
