After World War I, the leaders of the Allied Powers meet at Versailles to discuss what should happen now that the war is over. The problem became that each of these leaders wanted different things to happen.

For example, Woodrow Wilson (President of the US) did not want to punish Germany for the war and instead wanted to create a League of Nations that would work together to keep peace globally. David Lloyd George (leader of Great Britain) wanted to punish Germany for the damage they've done but also reconcile as well. This is due to the fact that Britain wanted Germany to still be strong enough to trade with them.

Lastly, Clemenceau (leader of France) wanted revenge on Germany. This desire for revenge was caused by the fact that Germany caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to France during World War I.
