  7. Reflection • Wilson Said:“A victor’s peace would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which terms of peace would rest only as upon quicksand. Only a peace between equals can last.” Excerpt from Wilson’s speech to the Senate on January 22, 1917 (almost 2 years before the end of the war and 3 months before the United States entered the war.) • Was the Versailles Treaty a “ Victor’s Peace” and a “Piece between equals”? • What do you think will be the lasting results for Europe? The United States?
