what treaty set up the league of nations?
treaty of versailles
unlike other allied leaders, wilson did not seek territorial gains or material concessions from the central powers. his chief goal was the establishment of the league of nations, which he saw as the "keystone of the whole programme." wilson himself presided over the committee that drafted the covenant of the league of nations, the covenant bound members to respect freedom of religion, treat racial minorities fairly, and peacefully settle disputes through organizations like the permanent court of international justice. article x of the league covenant required all nations to defend league members against external aggression. japan proposed that the conference endorse a racial equality clause; wilson was indifferent to the issue, but acceded to strong opposition from australia and britain. the covenant of the league of nations was incorporated into the conference's treaty of versailles, which ended the war with germany. the covenant was also incorporated into treaties with austria (the treaty of saint-germain-en-laye), hungary (the treaty of trianon), the ottoman empire (the treaty of sèvres), and bulgaria (the treaty of neuilly-sur-seine).

the fort laramie treaty of 1851 was signed on september 17, 1851, between united states treaty commissioners and representatives of the cheyenne, sioux, arapaho, crow, assiniboine, mandan, hidatsa, and arikara nations. the treaty was an agreement between nine more or less independent parties. the treaty set forth traditional territorial claims of the tribes as among themselves. the united states acknowledged that all the land covered by the treaty was indian territory and did not claim any part of it. the boundaries agreed to in the fort laramie treaty of 1851 would be used to settle a number of claims cases in the 20th century. the native americans guaranteed safe passage for settlers on the oregon trail and allowed roads and forts to be built in their territories in return for promises of an annuity in the amount of fifty thousand dollars for fifty years. the treaty should also "make an effective and lasting peace" among the eight tribes, each of them often at odds with a number of the others.
