The Paris Peace Conference of 1919 was supposed to end all wars; instead it laid the ground for WW II. This series shows how two months after the end of the Great War, rulers descended on Paris to craft a peace treaty they hoped would endure forever. US President Woodrow Wilson, with his dream of founding a league of nations, took the helm along with the leaders of France, Britain, Italy and Japan. As they met, mapmakers across Paris reshaped the world. Empires were dissolved and new countries created.
