was the treaty of versailles made at the paris peace conference
The main result was the Treaty of Versailles with Germany, which in section 231 laid the guilt for the war on ``the aggression of Germany and her allies''. This provision proved humiliating for Germany and set the stage for the expensive reparations Germany was intended to pay (it paid only a small portion before reparations ended in 1931). The five major powers (France, Britain, Italy, Japan and the United States) controlled the Conference. And the ``Big Four'' were the Prime Minister of France, Georges Clemenceau; the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Lloyd George; the President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson; and the Prime Minister of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele Orlando. They met together informally 145 times and made all the major decisions, which in turn were ratified by the others. The conference began on January 18, 1919, and with respect to its end date Professor Michael Neiberg has noted:
