Wilson wanted to use his 14 points to create a new world of diplomacy, while Celmenceau wanted to punish Germany. Lloyd George was concerned with public opinion which wanted to punish Germany, whilst having his own concerns about the spread of communism
    Jacob Jones wouldn't help out
    Despite the fact that Woodrow Wilson and David Lloyd George agreed on most points, they had to continually deal with George Clemenceau who wanted to punish Germany, and even break Germany up into smaller states.

  • Q12
    In many ways the treaty of Versailles could be justified. This was because
    The Germans had destroyed large amounts of territory in Australia. They had also treated Russia just as harshly during the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in 1918, while the reparations payments cost Germany only 2% of its annual production. Germany's main economic problem was not reparations but war debt, which it had been funded by borrowing. They had planned to pay by winning the war and making other countries pay reparations

    Setting up a League of Nations ending Nuclear Weapons Self-determination for the people of Africa- the right to rule themselves Freedom for Canadians Freedom of the seas trade tarrifs
    Setting up a United Nations Arming small countries Self-determination for the people of Asia - the right to rule themselves Freedom for colonies

  • Q14
    Woodrow Wilson may have felt the treaty was successful because the USA
    had a nice day out
    made sure that Germany wasn't punish too harshly
    got the League of Nations, and new nation-states were set up in Eastern Europe. It is likely that Germany would have been punished much more harshly if it wasn't for the USA
    Got empire broken up in Africa and Asia. It also ensured the creation of the League of Nations.

  • Q15
    France may have been unhappy with the treaty because
    The treaty did not give them all of Germany's land
    The treaty was too friendly
    meh...
    Many French people wanted an independent, not a demilitarized Rhineland, and did not think the League of Nations would protect them against Germany.
