The leaders of Britain, France and the USA (The big three) found it very hard to agree on what to do.

The

Paris Peace

Conference

Factfile

  • The conferece took place in the palace of Versailles, near Paris.

  • It started in January 1919, and lasted for 12 months.

  • 32 nations were supposed to be represented, but no one from the defeated countries.

  • 5 treaties were signed. The main one was the Treaty of Versailles which dealt with Germany. The other treaties dealt with Germany's allies.

1919 - 1920

The Big Three

  • All of the important decision on the fate of Germany were taken by "The Big Three": Clemenceau representing France, Lloyd George representing Britain, Wilson representing USA.
  • The Big Three were supported by many diplomats and advisors, but they often ignored their advice.
  • The Big Three got on badly from the start and relations between them got worse throughout the conference.
  • The aims of The Big Three were different on what the conference should do and how to punish the defeated countries.

Woodrow Wilson

President of the USA

  • Wilson has often been seen as an idealist whose aim was to build a better and more peaceful world from the ruins of the great war. Wilson did believe that Germany should be punished, but not too harsh.
  • He believed that nations should co-operate to achieve world peace.
  • In 1918 he published the Fourteen Points, and proposed the League of Nations.

George was often in the middle ground between Clemenceau and Wilson.
