Keep looking.
No, the correct answer is B. President Wilson convinced the Allies to accept his plan for the League of Nations.
To arrive at this answer, you can use a combination of knowledge about historical events and deductive reasoning. Here's a breakdown of each option:
a. "Divide the spoils of war among the victors" refers to the practice of dividing the conquered territories, resources, or assets after a war. While this did occur after World War I, President Wilson did not specifically convince the Allies to do this. This option can be eliminated.
b. "Accept his plan for the League of Nations" is the correct answer. President Wilson's Fourteen Points, which he presented in January 1918, included the idea of establishing a League of Nations as a way to prevent future wars and ensure international cooperation. He strongly advocated for this concept and ultimately convinced the Allies to adopt it.
c. "Make Germany pay heavy war reparations" was indeed a part of the Treaty of Versailles signed in 1919, which punished Germany for its role in World War I. However, President Wilson did not specifically convince the Allies to impose heavy war reparations on Germany. This option can be eliminated.
d. "Allow Germany to keep its overseas colonies" was not a prominent point of negotiation during the post-World War I era. Germany's colonies were taken over by other countries as part of the Treaty of Versailles. President Wilson did not advocate for Germany to retain these territories. This option can be eliminated.
Therefore, the correct answer is b. President Wilson convinced the Allies to accept his plan for the League of Nations.
