Answer 1

The correct answer is D) Russia was allowed to take a leadership role in the peace negotiations.

The statement about peace negotiations that is false is "Russia was allowed to take a leadership role in the peace negotiations."

We are talking about the peace negotiations agreement during the Treaty of Versailles, in Paris, France, after World War 1. It was signed on June 28, 1919, and was validated by the league of Nations on October 21, 1919. As part of the negotiations, France and England ruled parts of the former Ottoman Empire and Germany was made to pay huge reparations to England and France.

Answer 2

Answer;

D. Russia was allowed to take a leadership role in the peace negotiations.

Explanation;

-The Paris Peace Conference was an international meeting convened in January 1919 at Versailles just outside Paris. The purpose of the meeting was to establish the terms of the peace after World War. Though nearly thirty nations participated, the representatives of Great Britain, France, the United States, and Italy became known as the "Big Four."

-The "Big Four" would dominate the proceedings that led to the formulation of the Treaty of Versailles, a treaty that articulated the compromises reached at the conference. The Treaty of Versailles included a plan to form a League of Nations that would serve as an international forum and an international collective security arrangement. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson was a strong advocate of the League as he believed it would prevent future wars.
