The
three Major Powers (
Lloyd George,
Woodrow Wilson, and
Georges Clemenceau) that did most of the talking at the
Paris Peace Conference of 1919, add one
Vittorio Orlando.
Vittorio Orlando, the leader of
Italy at the time, is not considered by many as a fourth "major power". Nether the less, some resources cite the
Paris Peace Conference as being talks between
four major allies as opposed to the
three true allies that were allied from the start.
Italy was not really a Major Power at all. She was a weak country in turmoil with a slow pace of
industrialization and a soon-to-be
reputation of switching sides during
wars.
