Nicholas Natale As World War I came to an end, a generation had been lost throughout the world. In order for this atrocity to never happen again, President Woodrow Wilson created the Fourteen Points. He hoped it would be ?the war to end all wars.? Although the Treaty of Versailles incorporated many of his ideas, the President could not have the treaty ratified by Congress because of the Fourteenth Point. The League of Nations, which was to be an international organization for collective security, was Wilson?s dream. Although the liberal and conservative opposition forces challenged the League of Nations, it was President Wilson?s stubbornness that led to the total defeat of the Treaty of Versailles.

Maddie Faulis Mr. Nelson AP US History Many events related to the election of 1824?influenced the election of 1828. Andrew Jackson argued that Adams was part of a ?Corrupt Bargain? with Henry Clay due to the fact that Adams agreed to make Clay Secretary of State if Clay voted him as president. As a result, the next president would not be chosen in secret and nasty, mud-slinging politics would begin.
