Centenary Anniversary: Paris Peace Conference

The victorious Allies met in Paris to plan the peace terms which would be delivered to the former Central Powers, and to discuss a vision and plans for the post-war world.

Although Britain, France, the United States, and to a lesser extent, Italy, had the greatest say at the Conference, there were many international delegations sent to Paris.

Communist Russia and Germany were not invited to attend.

The so-called ‘Paris Treaties’ agreed at the Conference delivered terms to the former Central Powers.

Some of the most significant results of the Paris Peace Conference saw the establishment of the League of Nations and the redrawing of the map of Eastern Europe, as new sovereign states emerged.
