Parent Guide > The Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations

This week in class, we’re reading "The Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations" by USHistory.org.

In "The Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations," this informational text explores how the signing of the Treaty of Versailles and the establishment of the League of Nations failed to secure peace.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of America, Social Change & Revolution, and War & Peace as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"How has America changed over time?", "Why do people resist change?", and "How can we achieve peace?"
