Read the quote from britain’s prime minister david lloyd george. are we to lapse back into the old national rivalries, animosities, and competitive armaments, or are we to initiate the reign on earth of the prince of peace? we must not let any sense of revenge, any spirit of greed, any grasping desire override the fundamental principles of righteousness. france most likely disagreed with this position because millions of its troops were killed and french citizens wanted justice. most french citizens did not believe worldwide peace was possible. it did not trust britain’s desire to adhere to principles of righteousness. it wanted to take control of germany to ensure france’s long-term safety.

The original plan was for Britain, France, the USA and Italy to meet early in 1919 and agree on the terms they would put to Germany. They would then discuss these terms with Germany.

This did not happen. Germany was simply presented with terms that had to be accepted. The Big Four all had slightly different views.

Lloyd George wanted a peace treaty that would punish Germany, but not cripple it. He wanted Germany to recover its economic strength in order to pay its reparations to Britain. Also, Germany had been Britain's number two trading partner (after the USA) before the war. Lloyd George wanted to see new jobs created in companies that were selling goods to Germany. If Germany were economically crippled, that would mean unemployment in Britain as well.

Lloyd George also wanted to avoid leaving Germany feeling bitter and unjustly treated. He argued that this would lead to another war once Germany had recovered.

Lloyd George was also extremely concerned about Communism because there was a strong Communist movement called the Spartacists in Germany.

The answer is A) millions of its troops were killed and French citizens wanted justice.
