The Paris Peace Conference was held in 1919 after World War 1 to negotiate peace treaties with defeated nations. Canada insisted on being recognized as an independent nation separate from Britain due to its war efforts. However, the US did not want Canada to have a separate vote. The Treaty of Versailles was ultimately signed by most parties except Germany, which opposed the terms. Germany was later forced to sign and pay extensive reparations to the Allies.
