Were the peace treaties of nineteen nineteen to twenty-three fair?

The big three

Georges Clemenceau, Prime Minister of France Woodrow Wilson, President of America

David Lloyd George, Prime Minister of Britain

The different victorious powers wanted different things, so there is no way that they could all get what they wanted.

Wilson insisted on a League of Nations, even though Britain and France did not.

Clemenceau wanted to destroy Germany with huge reparations. USA and Britain did not.

They came from different countries who had been affected differently. Public opinion at home affected the leaders' decisions.

Wilson was an idealist with different policies. George and Clemenceau were imperialists and realists - different ideas due to national self-interest.
