1. War of 1812
   Gulf War
2. World War I

The Treaty of Versailles is one of the most famous treaties in human history. Completed in 1919, it helped seal the end of World War I.

1. Canada
   Germany
2. India

As one of its many powerful details, the Treaty of Versailles forced Germany to accept responsibility for sparking WWI. The "War Guilt" clause was a hard one for the German people to swallow.

1. Treaty of Washington
   Treaty of Paris
2. Treaty of New York

It was an end that Britain never saw coming — its New World colonies successfully vying for independence and creating a new country. The Treaty of Paris helped to end the American Revolution.

1. True
2. False

The Treaty of Paris is indeed the U.S.’s oldest treaty. Not only did it end the Revolution, it also established America as a sovereign state.

1. Europe
   South America
2. Antarctica

The Congress of Vienna was completed at the end of a long period of conflict in Europe. It dramatically altered the continent by forcing politicians to set aside their differences and face territorial and political realities.

1. 10 years
   100 years
2. 872 years

The Congress of Vienna was remarkably successful in tamping down European tensions. For 100 years, there were no major wars on the continent. Then, of course, WWI changed everything.

1. France
   Roman
2. America

For years, French emperor Napoleon captured European lands and basically did what he liked. But the French defeat at the hands of a coalition was the end of his reign, and the Congress of Vienna helped to sort out the resulting mess.

1. Treaty of Greenland
   Treaty of Mexico City
2. Treaty of Portsmouth

In the early 20th century, the Russians and Japanese were at each other’s throats. The Treaty of Portsmouth helped to end the conflict.

1. War of 1812
   Vietnam War
2. Iran-Iraq War

Soon after the Revolution, the War of 1812 threatened a young America all over again, as Britain and the United States clashed in a years-long fight. The Treaty of Ghent brought an official end to this war.

1. Both sides did everything they could to kill each other before the ink dried.
   Soldiers laid down their weapons and shook hands.
2. It didn’t affect the battle.

The Treaty of Ghent was signed in Europe, far, far away from New Orleans. The war was officially over, but the news hadn’t reached America yet, so the Battle of New Orleans wasn’t affected at all -- an outnumbered group of American troops soundly defeated a British invasion force.

1. Thirty Years’ War
   The Crusades
2. Korean War

During the Thirty Years’ War, Catholics and Protestants clashed over the finer points of Christianity (and power). The Peace of Westphalia helped to end the bloodshed.

1. to make America unimportant
   to make America strong
2. to make America weak

The British signed away huge swaths of territory and important fishing rights via the Treaty of Paris. Why? It wanted a strong United States, largely to keep the French and Spanish from gathering power in North America.

1. Norway
   Portugal
2. the U.S.

The Treaty of Tordesillas had a major impact on the European colonization of the New World. Spain got access to Central and much of South America, while Portugal scored Brazil. In the end, Spain’s end of the bargain turned out to be very advantageous economically and politically.

1. Ulysses Grant
   Gerald Ford
2. Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt had mad diplomatic skills, and he put them to good use by pushing along the Treaty of Portsmouth. For his efforts, he won the Nobel Peace Prize.

1. Woodrow Wilson
   Barack Obama
2. Jimmy Carter

As the fierce Israeli-Egyptian conflict dragged on, Jimmy Carter worked his magic at the Camp David Accords. The Accords helped normalize political relations between the two countries.

1. Germany must burn Berlin.
   Germany must disarm.
2. Germany must limit all women to one baby.

The Treaty of Versailles was packed with major clauses. One of those clauses forced Germany to drastically reduce its military, a provision meant to prevent the country from launching future attacks.

1. It sparked the Gold Rush.
   It stifled homesteading.
2. It fostered westward expansion.

The Treaty of Paris handed the new United States land all the way to the Mississippi River, greatly boosting westward expansion. In just a few decades, Americans would populate much of the continent.

1. Florida
   Canada
2. New Mexico

After America paid France for the Louisiana Purchase, Spain contested control of many areas in North America. The Adams-Onis Treaty essentially allowed Spain to sell the area of Florida to the United States.

1. It marginalized Egypt.
   It made Egypt all-powerful.
2. It had no affect at all.

In negotiating with Israel, Egypt earned the scorn of other Middle Eastern countries. And later, the circumstances led to assassination of Egyptian leader Anwar Sadat.

1. Treaty of New Mexico
   Treaty of San Diego
2. Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo

The 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed in Mexico City, ended hostilities between the U.S. and Mexico. The treaty granted huge swaths of the Southwest to America.

1. NAFTA
   Congress of Vienna
2. Treaty of Versailles

At the end of WWI, four major leaders, "the Big Four," came together for the Treaty of Versailles. They were Woodrow Wilson, David Lloyd-George (Britain), Georges Clemenceau (France), and Vittorio Orlando (Italy).

1. Treaty of Paris of 1898
   Treaty of Rome 1901
2. Treaty of Rome 1901

There were quite a few treaties signed in Paris. But the 1898 Treaty of Paris is notable for ending the vicious Spanish-American War.

1. They were very thankful.
   They were disgusted.
2. They had no real opinion.

Japan had Russia on the ropes until the Treaty of Portsmouth ended the fighting. The Japanese public expected major territorial concessions but received almost nothing ... leading to widespread disgust from citizens.

1. It didn’t affect boundaries.
   It reduced America’s size by one-third.
2. It doubled Britain’s lands in North America.

The War of 1812 was basically a pointless ordeal for both countries. By the time the Treaty of Ghent was signed, no one wanted anything except peace — so no national boundaries were affected.

1. True
2. False

The Treaty of Westphalia pushed its signers to at least tolerate some variations of Christianity ... but other religions? No.

1. Italy
   Spain
2. Germany

The Treaty of Versailles forced Germany to make major reparations to the countries it damaged during WWI. With its many burdensome clauses, the treaty essentially guaranteed that Germany would rise again in anger.

1. Catholicism
   Buddhism
2. Satanism

The Lateran Treaty greatly affected the Catholic world, establishing Vatican City and making Catholicism the official religion of Italy, a clause that was ended in the 1980s.

1. voting laws
   official religion
2. national anthem

The religion-heavy Treaty of Westphalia established a cultural norm, in which a given country’s official religion would be that of its top ruler. Perhaps it would mark the end of conflict between Catholics and Protestants. Or, perhaps not.

1. True
2. False

Not by a long shot. Sure, the Treaty of Tordesillas temporarily created imaginary lines between the New World holdings of Portugal and Spain, but both sides continually pushed for further concessions.

1. Treaty of Versailles
   Treaty of Paris
2. Treaty of Washington

In the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, Russia handed over large areas, such as Ukraine and Belarus, to Germany. But after Germany lost WWI, the Treaty of Versailles returned these lands to Russian hands.
