What was the Treaty of Frankfurt?
The Treaty of Frankfurt ended the Franco-Prussian war and marked the entry of a newly unified Germany which was dominated by the empires of England and France for a long time. This treaty made France pay them an indemnity of 5 billion Francs and kept an army in France until it had been paid. Because of this, France surrendered Strasburg, Alsace and part of Lorraine to Bismark.

Who was the British representative at the peace treaty that ended World War 1?
"The "Big Three"[1] that negotiated the treaty consisted of Prime Minister David Lloyd George of the United Kingdom, President Georges Clemenceau of France and President Woodrow Wilson of the United States of America. The Prime Minister of Italy, Vittorio Orlando, played a minor part in the discussions. Germany was not invited to France to discuss the treaty. At Versailles, it was difficult to decide on a common position because their aims conflicted with one another. The result was said to be a compromise that nobody liked."

Why was Germany blamed for World War 1 in the Versailles Treaty?
The Treaty of Versailles was a dictated settlement with no serious negotiations. The main purpose of the 'war guilt clause' was to lend some kind of justification to the reparations. It may well also have been the sincerely held view of at least some of the victors. The clause is at the beginning of the section on reparations.
The T of V was drawn up just after David Lloyd George had won an election in Britain, and in the election campaign he had promised to 'squeeze Germany till the pips squeak', to 'hang the Kaiser' and to make Britain 'a land fit for heroes'. The last of these promises was going to be very expensive to implement.
In the interwar period it was common in Germany to speak of the 'war guilt clause' as if it were the foundation of the entire treaty and as if had been formulated in order to humiliate Germany and turn it into a pariah. There's no evidence for this, and high number of the clause (#231 - out of 440) speaks against this. The aim was money and more money.
Perhaps not well noted, was that World War One ended up being radically different than everyone thought when it started. Politicians (and the public) throughout Europe assumed that the War would be like other European conflicts of the past century (in particular, both France and Germany saw it as a re-run of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870). That is, short, sharp, decisive, and over quickly with a very modest casualty count.
When it was revealed that the politicians had miscalculated, and that the "military geniuses" who had promised a short, decisive war were completely wrong, wholesale slaughter ruled.
So, a great deal of the Treaty of Versailles is about covering-their-ass on the part of Allied politicians. For, if Germany could be entirely blamed for the start of the War, it could be, by inference, be blamed for the massive deaths that had occurred.
So, in reality, the T of V blames Germany for the "excesses" of the War, and tries to recoupe the costs from Germany, all in hopes that the Allied public doesn't notice that much of the blame for the war (and the manner it was fought in) is really on the Allied politicians and military leadership.

What agreement gave Spain most of North America and South America?
Treaty of Tordesillas. This treaty was signed by Spain and Portugal. It gave Spain the non-christian lands in North America and South America.

In 1493, after Columbus' voyage to the New World, Pope Alexander VI issued the decree "Inter caetera II" which divided the world from the North to the South Pole and granted Spain title to all lands to be discovered west of the line to assist in "the expansion of the Christian rule."
