| | The statesmen who assembled in Paris knew their enemies were either defeated, in the case of Germany, or had simply vanished, in the case of Austria-Hungary. | | | When he returned to the United States to try to get the Senate to ratify the Treaty of Versailles, with the League embedded in it, his natural stubbornness was exacerbated to the point where he refused all compromise with the moderate Republicans. | | | John Maynard Keynes, in Paris as the Treasury adviser to the British delegation, set the tone early in the great polemic which he wrote in the summer of 1919. |

| | At the time of the Peace Conference, international law did not recognize the principle of self-determination as an approved and accepted right of every nation. | | | I have the honor to express my loyalty as a delegate of the Macedonian Committee at the High Peace Conference and to protest against the speculations of certain persons who pretend to be talk-ing in the name of Macedonia. | | | International law practice in Turkey during the last years of the 19th and the first decade of the 20th centuries shows that Turkey was more and more obliged to recognize de facto the existence of the Macedonian revolutionary organization that fought for separation of Macedonia and its becoming a new state on the Balkan. |

| | Woodrow Wilson chose to head the U.S. delegation to the peace conference in Paris at the end of World War I and in doing so became the first president to visit Europe during his term in office. | | | The Republicans had gained a narrow majority in the Senate and Wilson would need the support of his political opponents in order to achieve the necessary two-thirds vote of that body for ratification of a treaty. | | | He was accompanied by Secretary of State Robert Lansing and his closest personal advisor, Colonel Edward House, as well as Henry White, a respected career diplomat and Republican, and General Tasker Bliss. |

| | The book focuses on the three leaders that controlled the conference, Prime Minister Lloyd George of Britain, President Wilson of the United States, and Prime Minister Clemenceau of France. | | | The British Prime Minister is shown to be extraordinarily energetic and quick witted, but prone to vacillate in his position as he chased public opinion at home. | | | The fact remains, however, that the three men who shaped the peace conference set the stage for World War 2 and for the "clash of civilizations" we see today. |

| | As the British representative, Keynes was in Paris throughout the negotiations of the Big Three—the British prime minister, Lloyd George, the American president, Woodrow Wilson, and the French prime minister, Clemenceau—and the other heads of state and their advisors, as they struggled over the peace terms and juggled competing Allied claims. | | | In fact, in the United States in 1919, as far as we know—and this is before public opinion polls—there was an awful lot of public support for a League of Nations and for involvement. | | | Paris had been touched a bit—a lot of the trees had been cut down to provide fuel, a lot of the women were wearing black because their husbands or their lovers or their fathers had died in the trenches, and most of the delegates went up to see the trenches, to see the battlefields. |

Charter. | | | The Paris debate further brought into sharp focus the necessary limitations on sovereignty that creation of an international force would entail. |
