Lloyd George speaking to the
house of commons 1919:
“We have restored where restoration was just, we have
organised where damages and injury have been inflicted,
and we have established guarantees and securities. We
have disarmed; we have punished.
How does Lloyd George feel about the Treaty of Versailles?
Anglo-American Treaty
• During the peace process Lloyd George wanted
Clemenceau to adopt a more moderate approach
towards Germany.
• He offered him an Anglo-American guarantee
against German aggression.
• This treaty was never actually signed as US
congress would not agree to it and Britain was
not going to offer to protect France alone.
• What affect do you think this had on Clemenceau
and his view of the treaty?

How far did the “Big Three” achieve their aims at the Paris Peace
Conference? Explain your answer. (10)
Paragraph 1:
Woodrow Wilson: What did he want? Did Woodrow get what he wanted? Remember to write both sides of the argument.
Write a paragraph to explain your answer!
Paragraph 2: Remember Clemenceau was the least happy with the Treaty as he thought it was not harsh enough and he felt
unprotected against Germany in the future without guarantees from Britain and USA.
Explain the things that Clemenceau did and did not get.
Paragraph 3: Lloyd George was probably the most content with the treaty, however there were things he was not satisfied
with. Explain how he was and was not happy with the Treaty and why – compare to what he wanted.
Conclusion: You only need a few lines here to sum up who was the most satisfied and who was the least and why. Think
about the BIG three as a whole and decide to what extent they got what they wanted.
