The opening of this volume finds the Big Four in the midst of the gravest crisis of the peace conference set off by the British cabinets demand for drastic softening of the terms of the peace treaty to be concluded with Germany In response to a wave of appeasement sweeping through the British Isles Lloyd George says that he cannot and will not sign the peace treaty unless his colleagues agree to negotiate sympathetically with the Germans on their reparations obligations their early admission to the League of Nations and other matters For the entire period covered by this volume the atmosphere of the Council of Four is supercharged by bitter debates and recriminations Wilson and Clemenceau try to hold to the terms of the preliminary treaty As the bitterness of the debates in the Council of Four grows in intensity Wilson weakened by a small stroke just before the eruption of the crisis gradually loses the will and strength to oppose Lloyd George Throughout Wilson tries to play the role of peacemaker between Lloyd George and Clemenceau but ends by capitulating to Lloyd Georges demands The result is that the final peace treaty taking shape constitutes the first step in the appeasement of Germany

As this volume opens Wilson faces new serious crises at the Paris Peace Conference Italy demands not only territory along the Dalmatian littoral but also sovereignty over the Adriatic port of Fiume while Japan insists on the fulfillment of secret treaties that award her complete control of the Chinese province of Shantung Achievement of these ambitions would in Wilsons opinion grossly violate the letter and spirit of the Fourteen Points Debates in the Council of Four over Fiume reach a pitch of high emotion and the victorious Western alliance seems on the verge of dissolution Wilson issues an appeal to the Italian people for a fair and just settlement of the Adriatic problem In response the Italian leaders withdraw from Paris and Italys imperial ambitions continue to be the chief stumbling block to Western accord Meanwhile Wilson accepts a compromise that gives only Germanys former economic rights in Shantung to the Japanese and requires of them a promise to return Shantung to the full political control of China In spite of all discord the Big Four submit a preliminary peace treaty to the Germans on May 7 1919 This begins a sixweek period of intense negotiation between the victors and the vanquished
