Italy invited to rejoin peace talks at Paris
The Council of Three led by Wilson Clemenceau and Lloyd George sent a communication to Italy inviting its return to the peace conference. The move aims to restore relations after Orlando Sonnino left Paris and to pave a pathway for a territorial settlement before the German delegation receives the treaty. Representative Guardia, an Italian born U S lawmaker, expected a quick settlement and urged Italy not to let pride block acceptance of Paris’s overture.
