Question

In which way did the Treaty of Versailles differ from Wilson’s Fourteen Points?

The treaty did not call for limitations to be placed on Germany’s military as the Fourteen Points did.
Unlike the Fourteen Points, the Treaty of Versailles called for harsh punishments to be placed on Germany.
The Fourteen Points were developed in secret, but the Treaty of Versailles was developed completely in public.
German representatives helped draft the Treaty of Versailles but were not included in the development of the Fourteen Points.

Answer 1

The most accurate way in which the Treaty of Versailles differed from Wilson’s Fourteen Points is:

**Unlike the Fourteen Points, the Treaty of Versailles called for harsh punishments to be placed on Germany.**

While Wilson's Fourteen Points aimed for a more just and lasting peace, advocating for self-determination, free trade, and open diplomacy, the Treaty of Versailles included severe reparations and military restrictions specifically aimed at Germany, reflecting a punitive approach which was contrary to Wilson's vision of peace.
