| | Lessons of History: the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 |
 | | In 1919 people were thinking in ways which would have been alien to anyone in 1815 but which are familiar to us today: the whole notion of democratic participation in foreign policy, of ethnic nationalism, and of self-determination. | | | In the Allied countries, before the peace conference met, there was as well considerable enthusiasm for punishing the leaders of the Central Powers, in particular those of Germany which had been the dominant partner. | | | The Americans, although the extent of their isolationism has been exaggerated, withdrew partially from involvement in world affairs in the 1920s in part because they had tired of what they saw as the old vindictive European ways. |

| | With this proposal the Italian delegation recognized and accepted the attitude of the Balkan countries, who claimed that if the question concerning the unification of Macedonia was put on the program and discussed during the Peace Conference it would violate their sovereignty.[31] | | | The countries that signed the document claimed that these ideas would prevail at the Peace Conference because they were supported by genuine arguments, unless ".. | | | This idea was dominant in all the documents brought to the meetings of the Committee for New Countries. |

| | This 75-year history of discussion of the idea of an international military force suggests that the idea will persist, notwithstanding the current pessimistic atmosphere in the U.S. brought about largely by the debacle of Somalia. | | | Seventy-five years ago, at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, the French delegation to the League of Nations Commission made far-reaching proposals for putting military contingents at the disposal and under the control of the League -- proposals which closely resemble the provisions of Chapter VII of the U.N. Charter. | | | At the same time, Wilson's determined resistance to the idea on the ground that Americans would never be willing to let U.S. soldiers die in far-away places for remote causes echoes the views of contemporary opponents of a U.N. force and suggests that these views will also persist. |
