Attitudes towards Germany
- Resposible for the war
- Should be punished
- Should pay for the damage
- In 1918 election, politicians knew they were able to gain support if they treated Germany harshly
The Paris Peace Conference
- France: (Georges Clemenceau) damage to landscape, industry, people/ wanted to cripple Germany so it could not attack again
- USA: (Woodrow Wilson) 14 points for the PPC, League of Nations/ wanted Germany to be punished but not to harshly, would one day recover and want revenge
- Great Britain: (David Lloyd George) wanted Germany to be justly punished but not harshly, loss of nav and colonies, keen for G and GB to trade again- second largest trading partner so more British jobs, public pressure was strong
