Collective security is the cooperation of Countries in an alliance to strengthen the security of the countries. Woodrow Wilson thought that collective security would possibly prevent another world war. He thought that it would help resolve international issues by joining major powers to create The League of Nations. In theory, counties would be able to come together and discuss the issue before conflict and war started. Although the idea seemed possible, it was doomed from the Start. This was because Wilson Could not get the US congress to agree, and two other major countries Germany, and Russia would not Join. Without those three major countries, Britain and France were not powerful enough by themselves. That and the fact that The league of Nations had no army meant that it would never succeed.

The "big three", was known at first as the "big four", until Vittorio Emanuele Orlando of Italy dropped. Orlando dropped out because Italy was promised land, but receive it, so they negotiated with Germany on their own. The countries who that were left were USA, Great Britain, and France. The leader of France was George Clemenceau. Clemenceau wanted to weaken Germany so they would never be able to make war again. He also wanted severe reparations, so Germany would be in debt for a long time. Woodrow Wilson was the President of the USA, and submitted the 14 points. Wilson also wanted to rebuild Germany on democratic lines, and wanted self determination for much of Europe. The leader of Great Britain was David Lloyd George. George also wanted reparations but not as much as France, because they still wanted to remain fairly strong trading partners with Germany. Britain was also looking to expand their overseas empire.

I started at Shawnigan Lake School when I was in grade 10 and plan on staying until I graduate. I have a sister in grade 8 and a brother in grade 9, who is hoping to come to Shawnigan next year. I enjoy playing sports, in particular rugby. I started playing rugby in grade 8 and it has grown to be my favorite sport since then. Playing rugby at Shawnigan has brought me many travel experiences including a rugby tour to Wales and England, as well as playing for a club team that traveled to Germany. |
