The definition of the "Big Four" in the chapter entitled "The War to End War, 1917-1918" is incorrect. "Big Four" did not refer to the 4 allied countries in WWI, the term referred to the four great leaders of these countries.
I quote from the book "American Pageant" with which this site follows along nicely-- "The Paris Conference of great and small nations fell into the hands of an inner clique, known as the Big Four. Wilson, representing the richest and freshest great power, more or less occupied the driver’s seat. He was joined by genial Premier Vittorio Orlando of Italy and brilliant Prime Minister David Lloyd George of Britain. Perhaps the most realistic of the quartet was cynical, hard-bitten Premier Georges Clemenceau of France, the 78-year-old “organizer of victory” known as “the Tiger.” "
Just thought I'd point that out. It's just one of many errors I find in the vocabulary section (stuuuupid homework) that I'd like to see changed. :D
