Why did the leaders not get what they wanted from the Treaty of Versailles?

Beacuse they all had different national self interests. Clemenceau (France) wanted to weaken Germany to make sure that they could not attack France again as they had in 1871 and 1914, hence why he demanded heavy reparations and wanted the Rhineland to become an independent state Woodrow Wilson (America) took a more internationalist view with his main demand being the League of Nations and he did not want to punish Germany to severley. Lloyd George (UK) took the middle ground between France and America as they wanted to punish Germany but they did not want to cripple it as Germany was a large trade partner before the war and it was hoped that the trade links could be restored after the war. Edd Basquette hope this helped!!


Why did the the victors fail to get everything they wanted at Versailles?

Compromise between the Big 3 was inevitable:•Clemenceau's clash:- Clemenceau criticised Britain for being too lenient on Germany in Europe, and only harsh when it came to German colonies and the navy.•Lloyd George's clash:- Lloyd George was unhappy about Wilson's insistence on access to the sea for all nations.•Wilson's clash:-Wilson had to agree to French plans for the Rhineland and Saar - USA had not suffered as badly as France, which explains Clemenceau's harsher attitude to Germany.•Clemenceau and Lloyd George's clash:-Britain and France did not want a League of Nations, Wilson did.-Clemenceau and Lloyd George had to agree to Wilson's plans for self-determination for eastern European countries, despite the fact that this would mean losing various overseas colonies.•Lloyd George and Wilson's clash:-Clemenceau wanted crippling reparations, Wilson and Lloyd George didn't.Wilson's ideal of self determination was always likely to be diluted by British and French war-time commitments:-For example, the Treaty of London which promised Italy territory from Austria-Hungary in any post-war settlement.You can't please all of the people all of the time:-The Big Three made the peace amidst a clamour of demands, many of which were directly conflicting i.e. American Zionists who wanted Palestine for the Jews, versus Arab delegates who wanted Palestine for the Arabs.The Big 3 were constrained by domestic public opinion:- Lloyd George was constantly under pressure to take a tougher stance against Germany because public opinion at home was very anti-German.The Big 3 had to accept certain strategic and political realities:- For example, the collapse of the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires at the end of World War 1.-Even if the Big 3 had wanted to, such empires could not be constructed because in central Europe, 'the genie of nationalism' had been let out of the bottle.

What did david loyd george want from Germany in ww1?

David Lloyd George, the British Prime Minister during World War I, sought to impose significant reparations on Germany after the war. He aimed to weaken Germany economically and militarily to prevent any future threats to Britain and its allies. Additionally, he wanted to secure territorial gains and ensure the stability of Europe through the League of Nations. Lloyd George balanced these goals with the need to maintain public support and post-war relationships.


How did David Lloyd George feel toward Germany?

He wanted Germany to pay for damages but did not want revenge. He did not want to let Germany off the hook too easily but felt they should be addressed firmly. He fell in the middle of George Clemenceau, who wanted revenge on Germany, and Woodrow Wilson, who just wanted world peace and simple reductions in arms and participation in the League of Nations. This view was not accepted by a large sum of Europeans, including the British, who also wanted revenge. So David Lloyd George felt that Germany should not be treated too harshly, but did agree with France's views because that is what most of the British people supported. He was in the middle.


What did david Lloyd George want?

He wanted to charge the Germans reparations like the French did but he wanted the German economy to develop so the reparations he seeked were less than that the French wanted. Lloyd George wanted this because in future years he saw Germany as an important trading partner. He also opposed Woodrow Wilson's idea of self-determination because like the French he seeked to preserve his own countries empire.

Who lead the countries to war in world war 1?

They made Germany take the blame because Germany was the most aggressive, although Serbia had really started it by assassinating the new Austria-Hungarian King. This was followed up by Russia warning Austria that if they attacked Serbia, Russia would attack Austria-Hungary. A-H called Germany to support them if Russia helped, then Russia called French for support. When French realized they would lose, they called Great Britain who didn't really want to join, but joined in. Later on in the war, Austria-Hungary left the war, leaving Germany on it's own. Soon, Great Britain, France and Russia began losing vs Germany and Italy who joined Great Britain later on as Germany began losing when America joined
