    1) This article helped me in the way that i got to refresh my memory about who was involved in the Paris peace conference during the first world war. Before going over this article, i forgot about President Woodrow Wilson's existence and his importance as the President on the United States.
    2)This website from the IB Guide really gave me everything i needed to know about to Paris Peace conference and the Treaty of Versailles.It has been a while that we have spoken about the treaties and this website helped me in various ways because it talks about involvement of countries, including reparations.
    3)This image gives me a good picture about the situation of the treaty of versailles. This gives me an image that the Paris Peace Conference can be the attempt of unity of several countries, but it it obviously not as successful as the conductor makes it look.
