Georges Clemenceau (France)

• France had suffered very severely in terms of damage to the country and loss of life during WWI.
• France wanted Germany to pay for all of the damages from the war.
• France wanted Germany to lose all of the land they had gained and more, for example, Alsace Lorraine, a territory that Germany took from France in 1879.
• France wanted the German armed forces to be eradicated.
• The purpose behind all of France's demands was to ensure that Germany was crippled so that it could not attack France again.
• France wanted Germany to be broken up into many little states.
• France wanted German colonies as well.
• Germany seemed as powerful as ever to France, compared with their own country, which was in decline.
