order to maintain its empire.
Georges Clemenceau. France suffered
during WWI severley and were
determined to prevent such a distaster

Georges Clemenceau: Liked:
Reperations, tiny German army, the
de-militarized zone of the
Rhineland(would protect Franc e by
creating a buffer zone), France got
Alsace Lorraine and some German
Colonies. He was dissapointed with:
He wanted the Treaty to be harsher
and for Germany to be split up itno
smaller countries.
David Lloyd George: Liked:
Britain obtained some
German colonies (increasing
the British Empire), small
German navy (allowing
Britian to continue' ruling
the seas'). Was
disappointed with: Treaty
was far too harsh and
would ruin Germany and he
thought it would cause
another was in 25 years
times.
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
FAILURES:
CORFU CRISIS:
Italian General was killed while working in Greece, so Mussolini invaded Corfu due to
his anger with the Greeks. The Leagyue condemned Mussolini,who reufsed to leave
Greece and, instead, made Greece pay money to Italy. They were also forced to
apologize to Mussolini.
MANCHURIAN CRISIS
Manchurian Crisis: Japanese invaded China, due to the 'reason' of China attacking the
Japanese railways. They built an army in China called Manchoukuo. Japan refused to
leave, after the League conducted The Lytton report for one year. Economic sanctions
couldn't occur as Japan traded with many countries, including America, making the sanction
pointless. Britain and France didn't want war so did nothing, meaning the Japanese stayed
in Manchuria, China.
