How did the goals of the Big 3 Leaders conflict at the Paris Peach conference?
Answers
The Big 3 Leaders – US President Woodrow Wilson, British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, and French Prime Minister Clemenceau – all had different visions for the post-war world. President Wilson wanted to establish a League of Nations, a world organization dedicated to settling disputes and ensuring world peace. Lloyd George was focused on limiting German power by preventing a unified Germany and insisted on harsh reparations being made to Britain and France. Clemenceau, on the other hand, was concerned primarily with protecting his own interests, and wanted a strong buffer zone made up of German territory which would protect France from future invasion. Thus, while they all had common goals of achieving a just peace and preventing future conflict, their visions for how to achieve these goals were at odds with each other, leading to considerable conflict at the Paris Peace Conference.
