Wilson was a naive, stupid little man, whom the Brits and French took advantage of, in Paris, in 1919.

It was the Treaty of Versailles which made not only WW II inevitable, but also set the stage for almost every single other war/conflict, through today! Granted, Wilson's crappy call for world wide Manifest Destiny didn't help matters any, vis-a-vis influencing people like Ho Chi Minh, who was actually in Paris at that time, working at a menial job.

A great book about all of this history is "PARIS 1919:SIX MONTHS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD", by Margaret MacMillan.

I don’t think that Versaille applied to the former Hapsburg Empire. Versaille was a treaty with Germany alone.

There were two other treaties that were for Austria and Hungary. The Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye and the Treaty of Trianon.
