Russia and Germany.
Three issues to be settled at the Paris Peace Conference: (1) Woodrow Wilson was a dedicated reformer who urged “peace without victory,” he wanted the Fourteen Points to be the basis of peace. (2) The British Prime Minister, David Lloyd George, knew that his people demanded harsh treatment for Germany. Because of this, he promised to build the postwar Britain “fit for heroes” –a goal that would cost money. (3) The French leader, Georges Clemenceau, (a.k.a. “the Tiger”) wanted to weaken Germany so that it can never again threaten France.
He was not happy with the amount of money and lives spent in the war by France, as well as the land made unusable by the fighting.
they were angry
The Fourteen Points argued that no country should be punished for the war, while the Paris Peace Conference called for harsh punishments for Germany.
German military power should be permanently restricted.

(Germany was not invited) the countries decided that it was Germany's fault for causing WW1 and they had caused the most damage during this period. they then forced Germany to sign the treaty of Versailles. in this document it said that Germany must pay reparations for their actions etc.
