The Big Four at the Treaty of Versailles were David Lloyd George of Britain, Woodrow Wilson of the United States, Georges Clemenceau of France, and Vittorio Orlando of Italy. Each of these men wanted in some way to control what happened after the war in such a way as to prevent Germany from rising and creating trouble in the world. The 'Fourteen Points' proposed at the Versailles was an attempt by these men to have the post-war world go the way they believed it should.
Italy's specific goals in the Versailles Treaty were to end up with territory that had at one time belonged to the Republic of Venice (renaissance era). To get the specifics look up the Treaty of London of 1915 in which the French, English & Russians promised the Italians added territory if they declared war on their former allies Austria & Germany.
The Treaty of Versailles largely fell short of President Woodrow Wilson's goals for a lasting peace. While it included the creation of the League of Nations, which Wilson championed as a means for international cooperation and conflict resolution, the treaty's punitive measures against Germany and the lack of broader support from other nations undermined his vision of a fair and just peace. Additionally, Wilson's ideals of self-determination were not fully realized, as many national boundaries were redrawn without regard for ethnic or cultural identities. Ultimately, the treaty's harsh terms contributed to future instability in Europe, contradicting Wilson's aim for sustainable peace.

Woodrow Wilson's Fourteenth Point called for the establishment of a League of Nations to promote international cooperation and prevent future conflicts. This idea was incorporated into the Treaty of Versailles, which concluded World War I, by creating the League as a formalized organization aimed at maintaining peace. However, the League's effectiveness was hampered by the absence of key nations, including the United States, which ultimately did not ratify the treaty. Despite its ambitious goals, the League struggled to prevent future conflicts, highlighting the challenges of collective security.

One of the goals of the Nazi Party was to overturn the Treaty of Versailles. In defiance of the treaty, they rebuilt the German military, re-occupied the Rhineland, and conquered territories that they had lost at the end of World War I.

fourteen points peace plan
Wilson's "solemn referendum" referred to his belief that the next presedential election would determine the fate of the Treaty of Versailles... which actually ended up true, since after Wilson was out of office, the League of Nations and the Treaty in general were both voted down.
