How did personalities of the Big Three affect the Treaty of Versailles?

OK, let's go through each member of the Big Three in turn...
First, Woodrow Wilson, president of USA... He happened to be a bit of an idealist, and this was reflected in his aims for the Treaty of Versailles (think of the 14 points). He wanted to build a stronger world out of the carnage of the war. The other two thought his views were a bit too idealistic.
Next, Georges Clemenceau, prime minister of France... His nickname was the tiger. His country had suffered more than any other in the war, as most of the fighting took place on French soil. He and the rest of France had watched their country burn and they wanted revenge. Therefore, he helped make the Treaty harsher than perhaps the other two of the Big Three desired.
The last member, David Lloyd George, prime minister of Great Britain, had opinions and aims for the Treaty that can be considered to be 'in the middle' of the others' - but this doesn't mean to say that he wasn't biased. Britain did a lot of trade with Germany and Lloyd George wanted Germany to be able to continue with this. However, Britain had lost a huge number of soldiers and the public clamour for revenge could not be entirely ignored. This affected the Treaty in that it helped to make it harsh, but not as harsh as Clemenceau had wanted.
The culmination of all these different aims for the Treaty ended in a result which nobody out of the Big Three were satisfied with - in fact no country at all liked the Treaty. Their aims were all so varied that they could never really reach an appropriate decision.

France wanted Germany to suffer badly as revenge for France's losses. Britain wanted the Treaty to be harsh, but not too harsh that it made Germany too weak to stop a possible communism spread from Russia to Western Europe. (N.B. This was Lloyd George's fear; the public just wanted Germany to suffer.) America felt it should stay out as much as possible of future European affairs, and only wanted to make peace with Germany and restrict her so she wouldn't start another war.
