Answer 1

## Brief ExplanationsThis is an essay question that requires a comparison of the goals of the Big Three Leaders - Wilson, Lloyd George, and Clemenceau - and how they conflicted. The answer should be based on historical facts and should be structured in a logical and coherent manner.# AnswerThe goals of the Big Three Leaders conflicted in several ways. Wilson, the US President, wanted a fair and lasting peace based on his Fourteen Points, which included self-determination for nations and a League of Nations. Lloyd George, the British Prime Minister, was torn between the desire for a fair peace and the demand of his people for Germany to pay. He wanted to ensure Britain's naval supremacy and protect its empire. Clemenceau, the French Prime Minister, wanted to punish Germany severely to prevent future aggression and ensure France's security. These conflicting goals made it difficult to reach a consensus and contributed to the failure of the Treaty of Versailles.
