To severely punish Germany in particular so that no nation would ever again spark a war. In the event the punishment and humiliation were so severe that they actually contributed to the burning desire of Hitler for revenge, leading to the second world war.
cuz tha did
Try to gain more land.
President Woodrow Wilson opposed punishing Germany harshly after World War I because he believed that a punitive approach would foster resentment and instability in Europe. He advocated for a more lenient peace, focusing on reconciliation and the establishment of the League of Nations to promote lasting peace and cooperation among nations. Wilson feared that severe reparations could lead to future conflicts and undermine democracy in Germany. His vision aimed at creating a framework for a more peaceful international order rather than one built on vengeance.
His aim was to literally crush Germany to pieces. He wanted to punish them harshly because of all the damage they had caused. He wanted Germany to be split up in to smaller countries. He wanted to make sure that Germany wouldn't do anything alike in the future, he also wanted the German Frontier to be pushed back to the Rhineland (Although it was rejected), giving France a lot more land. He was with the French public and supported the severe punishment of Germany...
The wish was not to punish but to get reparation and require Germany to pay for damage and loss of life.

The unconditional surrender of Germany
The unconditional surrender of Germany
In World War I, USA helped Britain in the war however they joined in the war 1917 and didn't involve a lot that was part of the reason why they didn't want to punish Germany after World War I. They helped by supplying troops and armies.
We will punish those responsible.Why must you punish me?
France and Britain wanted to punish Germany after World War I primarily due to the immense destruction and loss of life caused by the war, which was largely attributed to German aggression. They sought reparations to compensate for the damages and to weaken Germany militarily and economically to prevent future conflicts. Additionally, both nations aimed to establish a balance of power in Europe, ensuring that Germany could not pose a similar threat in the future. The Treaty of Versailles reflected these punitive intentions, imposing harsh penalties and territorial losses on Germany.
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!!
yes because they wanted to punish the southmany complained that the souths newly elected leaders were theh same people that led the confederacy.
This question is too vague. You don't mention if you want to know about Germany in World War 2 Era or currently. In World War 2 it was a fascist, socialist, dictatorship ruled by the Nazi Third Reich regime. They were brutal, cruel and murderous leaders of Germany. They were responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and 5 million other people in a genocide. They were defeated by the Allied Forces of World War 2. Today Germany is a democratic republic and part of the European Union. If you want to know more about Germany in today's current world resubmit a question that is very specific about what you need to know.
The United States rejected the Treaty of Versailles because they did not want to punish Germany that harshly. The U.S. felt that the treaty was punishing Germany the wrong way and felt that Germany would respond back. The treaty was made in a way that Germany would have no choice but to fight the treaty and that is a major reason for World War 2. By the U.S. not signing the treaty, they were not immediately involved in World War 2.
The Germans invaded Russia, and were headed for Moscow, Russia and a few other places. The people and leaders of Russia did not want to be ruled by Germany, so they fought back.
