David Lloyd George – A major British politicianWhere did he stand? 1)Politically he was an elected official and wanted to remain in office so he echoed the sentiments of many British- Hang the Kaiser. 2)In actuality George believed that the spread of communism posed a far greater threat to the world than a defeated Germany. He did not want the people of Germany to become so disillusioned with their government that they turned to communism. However, it would have been political suicide to have gone public with these views. David Lloyd George was born in 1863 and died in Lloyd George was the major British politician present at the Treaty of Versailles and while at Versailles it was Lloyd George who tried to play the middle role between the total retribution of George Clemenceau and the seemingly mild rebuke of America’s Woodrow Wilson.Treaty of VersaillesVersaillesGeorge ClemenceauAmerica’sWoodrow Wilson

Georges Clemenceau French Prime Minister  He realized that the tone in France was for no mercy to be shown to the Germans. He called for Germany to be smashed so that she could never again embark on a war.

Woodrow Wilson He had been genuinely stunned by the savagery of the Great War. He could not understand how an advanced civilization could have reduced itself so that it had created so much devastation. Americans supported a growing desire for the government to adopt a policy of isolation and leave Europe to its own devices. Wilson wanted America to concentrate on itself and, despite developing the idea of a League of Nations, he wanted an American input into Europe to be kept to a minimum. He believed that Germany should be punished but in a way that would lead to European reconciliation as opposed to revenge.

Territorial losses The following land was taken away from Germany: Alsace-Lorraine (given to France) Eupen and Malmedy (given to Belgium) Northern Schleswig (given to Denmark) Hultschin (given to Czechoslovakia) West Prussia, Posen and Upper Silesia (given to Poland) The Saar, Danzig and Memel were put under the control of the League of Nations and the people of these regions would be allowed to vote to stay in Germany or not in a future referendum. The League of Nations also took control of Germany's overseas colonies.League of Nations Germany had to return to Russia land taken in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. Some of this land was made into new states : Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. An enlarged Poland also received some of this landRussiaTreaty ofBrest-Litovsk

Military Germany’s army was reduced to 100,000 men; the army was not allowed tanks. She was not allowed an airforce.She was allowed only 6 capital naval ships and no submarines The west of the Rhineland and 50 kms East of the River Rhine was made into a demilitarized zone (DMZ).
