The Treaty of Versailles, concluded at the end of World War I in 1919 at the Paris Peace Conference, with input from figures such as Woodrow Wilson, drew the boundaries of post-World War I Europe with an eye to the principal of self-determination, the importance of the nation-state and punishment for Germany the aggressor in the war from the point of view of the winners. Historians view the Treaty as sowing the seeds of World War II by destabilizing German society.
