Peace treaties were set up after the defeat of Germany in 1918. ... If the winning alliance of France, Britain and America had been merciful, the future of Europe may have been different, however the hatred of Germany was too strong resulting with the peace terms showing no mercy. ... France had always felt threatened by Germany’s increasing military stature and it was at the Paris Peace Conference where Clemenceau and his helpers hoped to cripple Germany to avoid future attacks on France. France had no reason to be merciful and was forced to compromise with America led by Woodrow Wilson. ... Wilson did believe that Germany should be punished, however he also believed the treaty with Germany should not be too harsh, believing some day it would recover and want revenge. World peace was a key element of focus for Wilson. ... It was clear in the early stages after Germany’s defeat that the peace terms were going to be merciless. ... The League of Nations was set up, as an international ‘police force’ with Germany not invited to join the league until it had shown that it was a peace-loving country.
