Paris Peace Conference 1919 SECTION 4 The Terms of Peace Paris Peace Conference 1919 Wilson Clemenceau Lloyd George Orlando All three men wanted to stop a war ever happening again, but they did not agree about how to do this. They wanted different things from the peace, and they did not get on well.

The Terms of Peace SECTION 4 Georges Clemenceau He was the Prime Minister of France.   He wanted revenge, and to punish the Germans for what they had done. He wanted to make Germany pay for the damage done during the war. He also wanted to weaken Germany, so France would never be invaded again.

The Terms of Peace SECTION 4 Woodrow Wilson He wanted to make the world safe.   He wanted to end war by making a fair peace.     He said that he wanted disarmament, and a League of Nations (where countries could talk out their problems, without war).   He also promised self-determination for the peoples of Eastern Europe.

The Terms of Peace SECTION 4 David Lloyd George He was Prime Minister of Great Britain.   He said he would ‘make Germany pay’ – because he knew that was what the British people wanted to hear. He wanted ‘justice’, but he did not want revenge. He said that the peace must not be harsh – that would just cause another war in a few years time.   He tried to get a ‘halfway point’ – a compromise between Wilson and Clemenceau.    He ALSO wanted to expand the British Empire, maintain British control of the seas, and increase Britain's trade.  

The Terms of Peace Visual Source In this Swiss WWI-era cartoon titled "At the Peace Conference," the nations of France, England, the US, Belgium and Italy sit around the conference table smoking pipes together, with a PAX statue in the center of the table. The conference table is supported by a platform of bombs and powder kegs, labeled "World Revolution."  The caption reads, "I hope they will soon get through with this Peace Pipe smoking. A spark might fall underneath, and then--!!!?" The cartoon was published during the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, and reflects fears that the victors of WWI, by attempting to create a lasting peace would instead destabilize Europe.
