        He had seen his country invaded twice by the Germans, in 1870 and in 1914

        REVENGE
        
        reparations for the damage the french had suffered
        
        Clemenceau and other French leaders saw the treaty as an opportunity to cripple Germany so that it could not attack France again
        
        The French president (Poincare) wanted Germany broken up into a collection of smaller states, but Clemenceau knew that Uk and US would not agree (more power & money)

        Wilson
        
        Believed that Germany should be punished but not too harshly
        
        He drew up the 14 points as the basis for ending the war fairly so that future wars could be avoided
        
        He wanted to build a better and more peaceful world
        
        He wanted to strenthen democracy in the defeated nations so that its ppl wouldn't let its leaders cause another war
        
        Natons should co-operate
        
        Self determinations ( nations should rule themselves)
        
        Many ppl in France & Uk did not agree with the 14 points, they were impractical
        
        Very idealistic, the good man from the new world

        He did not want them to seek revenge
        
        He was keen for UK and Germany to begin trading again
        
        Before the war, Germany had been UK's 2nd largest trading partner
        
        Germany should be made stable & allow to recover their strengths as trading partners

        Britain and Belgium had a treaty to support each other if they were attacked.
        
        in 1914, Germany attacked France by moving through Belgium.
        
        Britain told Germany to retreat but Germany didn't listen, therefor Britain declared war on Germany
