After World War I, U.S. allies, particularly France and Britain, sought to impose harsh penalties on Germany, advocating for significant reparations and territorial losses to prevent future aggression. They believed that a weakened Germany would deter any resurgence of militarism. However, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson promoted a more lenient approach, emphasizing reconciliation and the establishment of the League of Nations to foster lasting peace. Ultimately, the Treaty of Versailles reflected a compromise, incorporating both punitive measures and Wilson's ideals for future cooperation.
