European Allied leaders, particularly French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau and British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, favored harsh penalties for Germany to prevent future aggression and ensure reparations. In contrast, President Woodrow Wilson advocated for a more lenient approach, emphasizing reconciliation and the establishment of a stable international order through his Fourteen Points. Wilson believed that excessive punishment could lead to resentment and future conflicts, while European leaders prioritized security and accountability for Germany's role in the war. This fundamental difference in perspective shaped the negotiations at the Treaty of Versailles.
After World War I, European leaders wanted to punish Germany for decimating the lands of the other European countries as well as for the lives lost. The United States was never under any real threat and the land was not affected.

U.S. President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points were rejected by the Allied European nations after World War I. The points outlined his vision for a just and lasting peace, emphasizing self-determination, free trade, and the establishment of the League of Nations. However, European leaders, particularly those from France and Britain, focused more on punitive measures against Germany and securing territorial gains rather than Wilson's ideals. Consequently, the Treaty of Versailles, which ended the war, did not fully reflect Wilson's proposals.

A big reason European leaders opposed most of president Wilson's peace plans is that those plans didn't require Germany to pay for World War I damage. European countries felt that Germany should be punished for the harm caused to them.
European leaders view multiculturalism as:
President - Joachim Gauck Chancellor - Angela Merkel President of the Bundestag - Norbert Lammert President of the Bundesrat - Horst Seehofer Very Stable government!
Very definitely. Germany has been one of the leaders in support of a single European currency. It replaced its prior Deutschmark currency in 2002.
