TREATY OF VERSAILLES

Met to discuss the punishment of Germany and where they're from.

• Woodrow Wilson of the U.S.

• Lloyd George of England

• Clemenceau of France

WOODROW WILSON'S VIEW

Wilson wanted a treaty based on his 14 point plan that he thought would bring peace.

GEORGES CLEMENCEAU VIEW

Clemenceau wanted to make Germany suffer, and made the Treaty of Versailles. This treaty was more

harsh than Wilson's 14 point plan.

LLOYD GEORGE'S VIEWLloyd secretly agreed with Wilson, but knew that the

British public agreed with Clemenceau. He went along with the treaty.

German people were unhappy with the Treaty of Versailles because they thought it was harsh. Germany also couldn't afford to pay the prices of

the war.

This treaty helped the rise of Adolf Hitler because people were

dissatisfied with the government and voted to power a man who promised

to rip up the Treaty of Versailles.
