3. The idea of self-rule, which Wilson advocated, was not included in the Treaty to the extent Wilson had hoped. Why not?

Was the decision justified? Explain your reasoning.
The decision wasn't justified. The countries should have been invited. They weren't invited because France was angry at Germany and the Big Four were afraid of Russia's governament, which is not a valid reason for not having the countries present.
5. Which Big Four leader showed up at the Paris Conference with the most strenght to influence the proceedings? Which was the weakest? Why?

He had a hard time because the European countries thought that Wilson was being commanding and like "Almighty" forcing 14 points onto them. He noticed he would have to compromise for them to agree.
