The Great War is over. Delegations from the United States, France, and Great Britain have gathered outside Paris to decide the terms Germany must accept. Each nation wants something different — and none of them can get it alone.
You will lead one delegation through seven real sticking points from the actual 1919 conference: war guilt, reparations, the German military, colonies, the Rhineland, Alsace-Lorraine, and the League of Nations. Every issue is decided by a vote of all three powers. Get two votes, and it's in the treaty.
How is your class playing this?
Play solo (or as one negotiating team). Choose one country; the other two delegations are run by the computer, arguing from their real 1919 positions.
Three students share one device, each representing a country. Negotiate out loud like the original classroom activity, then record your own votes.
Normal: delegates hold firm on issues they care about and need real concessions to move.
Every choice below shaped what your country needed out of Paris.
