 Problem 1
• The war had brought massive
destruction, especially to building
and farming land in France
 Problem 2
• Nationalist groups were keener
than ever to rule themselves and
be free from the empires which
had controlled them.
 Problem 3
• Communists had taken over in
Russia in 1917. Their ideas were
spreading to other countries that
had suffered greatly in the war.
Communists believed that the
poor should rise up and take
power from the rich. The people
in power were scared!
 Communism
• A political belief that everyone is equal and
everything is owned by the people.

• Capitalism – class society where

businesses are privately owned and there
are rich and poor people
 Problem 4
• The First World War had cost
twenty million lives. The world
had never seen a war like it. How
could future wars be prevented?
Woodrow Wilson: The Idealist
Wilson had a dream about
a better world. In
January 1918, before
war had ended, he came
up with a 14 point plan
to create this world.
Fill in the table and see if
you agree with his
dream!
