Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Sample response: The Big Three had conflicting goals. Wilson was an idealist, and he believed his Fourteen Points was the best course of action. France and Britain believed he was too naive. France had suffered the most - both in loss of life and property damage - and it wanted Germany to pay and to be weak. Britain wanted a more moderate settlement but also wanted Germany's colonies.
