The Paris Peace Conference
By Sharon Fabian 		  
1     What happens when a war is finished? Does everyone just go home and go back to what they were doing before the war?
 
2     What happens to the countries that have been defeated? What happens to the lands that have been destroyed by the fighting? What happens to the conflicts that still haven't been settled between the two sides? Should something be done to prevent another war from beginning?
 
3     At the end of World War I, President Wilson and the leaders of the other victorious countries decided to meet and make some important decisions about issues like these. Their meeting was called the Paris Peace Conference. It began in January 1919, and lasted for months.
