Significance One of Lloyd George’s greatest achievements during the war was combating the German submarines. Which in early 1917s, threatened to starve Britain into submission. He achieved that by forcing the adoption of the convoy system by the Royal Navy. At the Paris Peace conference in 1919, Lloyd shapes the final decision to a large extent by influencing on both the harsh demands of George Clemenceau and the idealistic proposals of Woodrow Wilson. At the end he said the treaty was a fail and there will be another war in twenty years.
