Results & Reactions of the Treaty Russia: V. I. Lenin and the rest of the Bolsheviks were back home trying to stabilize their new Socialist government with the threat of another revolt. They did not participate in the conference, since they made peace in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. Germany, and all of the major Allies except China and the United States, agreed to the treaty. Germany: In early May 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was shown to Germany was forced to agree to the treaty, or the Allies threatened to enforce the treaty by invading Germany. Many Germans were angry that the government agreed to the treaty, and they wanted revenge. German officials strongly disagreed with the treaty, but they were forced to accept it. German officials thought that the treaty would be much easier on them due to Wilson’s Fourteen Points.

US: Citizens of the United States didn’t approve of President Wilson’s agreement to let Germany be treated the generous way that it was. They thought that Germany should be punished even more for causing so much devastation around the world. In March 1920, the U. S. Senate refused to accept the Treaty of Versailles. Even though President Wilson helped set it up, the United States never joined the League of Nations. However, in August 1921, Germany and the United States created a separate peace agreement called the Treaty of Berlin.
