Because Germany was a threat to France since Germans captured Napoleon III at Sedan. The idea was to keep Germany weak so they could not longer be a threat to France, but this just created hate resentment in the Germany population that will catalyst the World War II.

What did each of the big three want at the Paris peace talks?

The three leaders of the conference were President Wilson (US), Prime Minister David Lloyd George (Britain), and George Clemenceau (France). Wilson wanted peace without victory, but Clemenceau wanted to rebuild France with money from a weakened Germany and George was in between. Italy also pushed Italian demands. Italy wanted lands from Austria. Several nations wanted their freedom based on self-determination, and Wilson wanted to give it to them. He also wanted a League of Nations based on the idea of collective security (collective security: every nation would send a representative to the League of Nations when someone wanted to start a war. This is when they would all talk it out.)


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.

Why did Georges Clemenceau want no league of nations?

Georges Clemenceau, the French Prime Minister during the Paris Peace Conference, was skeptical of the League of Nations because he believed it would undermine France's security against Germany. He prioritized strong measures to ensure France's defense, fearing that a collective security approach might lead to complacency among nations. Clemenceau was concerned that the League could limit France's ability to respond to threats and wanted to ensure that Germany was held accountable for its actions post-World War I. Overall, he favored a more robust framework for peace that placed emphasis on national security over international cooperation.
