How did David Lloyd George feel toward Germany?

Answer 1

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.
