What did the big three want?
Clemenceau,France
wanted to cripple Germany
so there will never be able to attack
France again
Germany's border to be pushed back
so France is less open to attack
Wanted money from Germany to
pay to fix damages caused by the
war
wanted a dramatic decrease in
their armed forces
Most fighting happened on French soil
and left the biggest impact
e.g most damage to country
and most deaths
Lloyd George,Britain
Ensure Britain's empire
Gain German colonies
Suppress Germany's Navy
Wanted to keep Germany's economy
strong so they can trade
This would stop other
counties in Europe from getting
strong
But L.G was cautious and didn't want to
punish them too harshly as the Germans would
eventually want revenge
The Brits wanted to make Germany pay
as many British men died in the war
Woodrow Wilson,USA
Wilson was an idealist
Proposed the idea of the League
- Countries could work and trade(make war
less likely)
-self-determination
- freedom of the seas (sail trading ships wherever
they wished)
-The fourteen points
America made profit from the war
selling weapons to allies
American didn't want revenge
