What did the big three want?

The post-World War I goals of the leaders of France, the USA, and Britain were shaped significantly by their national interests and the war's impact on their countries. France, under Clemenceau, sought to secure its borders, diminish German military capability, and obtain reparations for the extensive damage and loss of life sustained during the war.
