Answer 1

As the representative of the United States, I will promote Woodrow Wilson's vision for lasting peace, emphasizing principles such as self-determination and the establishment of a League of Nations.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the representative of the United States at the Versailles Conference, my goal is to promote Woodrow Wilson's vision for lasting peace. Wilson's Fourteen Points called for self-determination, freedom of the seas, and the establishment of a League of Nations. I would argue that these principles will benefit our country by preventing future conflicts and fostering cooperation between nations. While other nations may have different priorities, such as seeking revenge or protecting their own interests, our focus is on creating a world where nations can resolve disputes peacefully and work together to address global challenges.
