How satisfied were the big 3 by the treaty of Versailles?

How satisfied were the big 3 by the treaty of Versailles? Clemenceau was largely satisfied by the terms of the treaty of Versailles as he achieved most of his aims such as making Germany too weak to attack again. Germany was forced to pay huge reparations of £6.6 billion and was forced to limit its army to 100,000 soldiers. These pleased Clemenceau as it meant that Germany's economy was significantly weakened and France was being given the money they need to repair the country and the limited army mean they were not able to fight back and so the country was easier to control from the outside.  However, France was hoping to gain more; and from Germany to increase its own empire and although they did not gain the land it was still taken away from Germany which weakened the country.  Overall Clemenceau achieved most of his aims at the treaty of Versailles and was mostly satisfied by the terms.

France very heavily wanted Germany to pay for the damage they had caused to the country, as over 8000 miles of farmland was ruined and over 1 million lives lost. France hoped to achieve revenge and to weaken Germany. They had this strongest view as they were closest to the action and therefore experienced the worst damage as a result. Whereas America was more focused on achieving peace, they may have had a different mindset as they were more distant from the action and did not experience anywhere near that much destruction. As well as this the distance meant that the population of the country was not as involved and did not have as strong of an opinion as those who suffered more during the war. Britain  ...

Successes and failures of the league in the 1920's Area of dispute What the League of Nations did… 1919 Teschen - a small on the border between Poland and Czechoslovakia, which both countries wanted for its valuable coal mines. In January 1919, polish and Czech soldiers fought for a week in Teschen, killing many people. In 1920 the League arbitrated on the dispute, splitting the area between the two countries. Although neither country was happy about the decision, they accepted it and stopped the fighting. 1919 Fiume – a port on the Adriatic Coast. Italy had hoped that she would be given it in the Paris Peace Treaties, as a reward for WWI. Instead it was given to the new country of Yugoslavia. A group of Italian nationalists weren’t willing to accept this, and occupied the town. The league did not intervene 1920 Vilna - in 1919 Lithuania had regained its in...
