18 January 1919: The Paris Peace Conference began at the Palace of Versailles—The proceedings were dominated by the "Big Four" of the victorious—& vindictive—Entente Powers: prime ministers Georges Clemenceau of France, David Lloyd George of the United Kingdom, Vittorio Emanuele Orlando of Italy, & president Woodrow Wilson of the United States; A.K.A. the "Council of Four."
Lest we forget.
