The peace agreement made during the Paris Peace Conference differed from Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points in several ways:

A. It officially blamed Germany for causing World War I: This is true. The Treaty of Versailles, which was the main agreement made during the Paris Peace Conference, placed full blame for the war on Germany and Austria-Hungary. This was in contrast to Wilson's Fourteen Points, which did not seek to place blame, but rather to establish a just and lasting peace.

B. It defended the right of self-determination in Austro-Hungarian territory: This is partially true. Both the Fourteen Points and the Treaty of Versailles advocated for the self-determination of nations. However, the Treaty of Versailles led to the breakup of the Austro-Hungarian Empire into several smaller nations.

C. It allowed Germany to maintain an army for purposes of self-defense: This is false. The Treaty of Versailles severely limited the size of the German military. This was in contrast to Wilson's Fourteen Points, which did not call for such restrictions.

D. It established an international organization to promote peace: This is true of both the Fourteen Points and the Treaty of Versailles. Wilson's Fourteen Points called for the establishment of the League of Nations, an idea that was realized in the Treaty of Versailles. However, the U.S. Senate refused to ratify the treaty, and the U.S. never joined the League.
