The Yorkton Peace Conference

With World War I complete we simulate the re-ordering of the post-war world. This simulation re-creates the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 where Great Britain, France, the USA and Italy (the big 4) drafted the "Treaty of Versailles". Leaders of each country discuss how they will punish those responsible for causing the previous war.

Link to Country Simulation:

• In each simulation a war is orchestrated by the simulation master to parallel World War I

• Each country has specific secret goals and seeing as each simulation is different, these goals are are customised for each class

• To simulate Germany's lack of an invitation to the peace conference, the country "responsible" for beginning hostilities is not permitted voting power

• On achieving these goals the continent is re-shaped and prestige is adjusted

• This effectively ends the simulation and determines, if any, the "winning" country based on prestige
