In English we can understand: June 20 - the famous dinner at the Jefferson Residence where Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton decided a compromise: Madison agreed to vote for the assumption of state debts by the federal government; Hamilton agreed to vote for the capitol to be above the Potomac. The Compromise of 1790 was the first of three great compromises made by the North and South every thirty years in an attempt to keep the Union together and prevent civil war. Hamilton, Madison, and Jefferson, with the backing of Washington, arranged the terms which resulted in passage of the Residence Act in July and the Funding Act in August. Central to the compromise was a bargain by which several southerners agreed

[1] Although the armistice signed on 11 November 1918, ended the actual fighting, it took six months of negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty. The treaty was registered by the Secretariat of the League of Nations on 21 October 1919, and was printed in The League of Nations Treaty Series. Of the many provisions in the treaty, one of the most important and controversial required Germany to accept responsibility for causing the war (along with Austria and Hungary, according to the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye and the Treaty of Trianon, respectively) and, under the terms of articles 231–248 (later known as the War Guilt clauses), to disarm, make substantial territorial concessions and pay heavy reparations to certain countries that had formed the Entente powers. In 1921 the total cost of these reparations was assessed at 132 billion Marks (then $31.4 billion or £6.6 billion, roughly equivalent to US $442 billion or UK £284 billion in 2012), a sum that many economists at the time, notably John Maynard Keynes, deemed to be excessive and counterproductive and would have taken Germany until 1988 to pay. [2][3] The final payments ended up being made on 4 October 2010,[4] the 20th anniversary of German reunification, and some 92 years after the end of the war for which they were exacted.
How far were the problems faced by the Weimar Republic in the years 1919-23 caused by the Treaty of Versailles? The Weimar Government was set up by a new constitution in July 1919. The Treaty of Versailles imposed reparations of £6,600 million on Germany. The Munich Putsch took place in 1923. What part did the Wall Street Crash play in Hitler’s rise to power?
Aside from the end of slavery, it is not clear what Lincoln had in his mind for the former slaves in after the war. John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln on April 14,1865; the president died the next morning. The job of the nation was then left for the Congress and Lincoln's successor, Vice President Andrew Johnson. The nation would need to experience a "new birth of freedom" so that "government of the people, by the people. for the people, shall not perish from the earth" Lincoln's call for a "new birth of freedom" was realized in the form of the three crucial constitutional amendments: the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery, the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantees of due process and equal protection, and the Fifteenth Amendment's guarantee of the right to vote.
Date: February 23, 2011 World War I 2 After the Paris Peace Conference of January 1919, a final peace agreement, The Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919 at the château of Versailles near Paris thus the name, between the Allied and Central Powers to end World War I, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The main signatories of the treaty were “the president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, the Prime Minister of Britain, David Lloyd George, the prime minister of France, Georges Clemenceau, and the prime minister of Italy, Vittorio Orlando” (Berry, Berg, & Krukones, 2011.) The defeated countries, Germany and Austria-Hungary were not included in the negotiations. Russia was also excluded because “it had negotiated a peace treaty with Germany in 1917, in which Germany gained a large fraction of Russia's land and resources” (Evans, 2005-09.) This paper will compare and contrast the idealistic view of Woodrow Wilson and the demands for security and revenge of Georges Clemenceau.
