WORLD WAR I United States History Unit “Isolation vs.

Globalization” Elaborated Unit Focus The focus of this unit is the

development of World War I, II and the Cold War. This unit will examine the changes caused by the conflicts that involved much of the world. These changes not only involved how we looked at our world but also how our beliefs and ideals changed as a result. It also involved taking a closer look at individuals, groups, and institutions to see how improvements could be made to create a better United States and world.

This speech was intended to assure the country that the war was being fought for a moral cause and for peace in Europe after World War I.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS The League of Nations (LoN) was an

international organization founded as a result of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919–1920. At its greatest extent, from 28 September 1934, to the 23 February 1935, it had 58 members. The League's goals included disarmament, preventing war through collective security, settling disputes between countries through negotiation, diplomacy and improving global quality of life.

The Treaty of Versailles was one of the peace treaties at the end of World War I. It ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers. It was signed on 28 June 1919.
