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.
