January 12, 1919
The leaders of the "Big Four": Prime Minister David Lloyd George of Great Britain, Georges Clemenceau of France, Vittorio Orlando of Italy and President Woodrow Wilson of the United States, meet at the French Foreign Ministry to begin discussions on the fate of Germany and the future of Europe.
Wilson expressed concerns that Germany was not invited to this opening meeting, since this would leave the German people feeling anger that they were left out of planning for their own future. Other, smaller nations were also left out of this preliminary meeting.
