The Paris Peace Conference, held from January 1919 to January 1920 and attended by the victorious Allied powers, debated and agreed the terms of the peace settlement that formally ended the First World War (1914-18). As four empires were broken up, various treaties were signed with the losing Central Powers, notably the Treaty of Versailles with Germany and the Treaty of Trianon with Hungary.
