CONFLICT AND TENSION (1918-1939)
  1. THE BIG THREE
    1. Georges Clemenceau (FRANCE), David Llody George (UK) and Woodrow Wilson (USA)
      1. Woodrow Wilson: USA didn't suffer much durng the war. Wilson proposed The Fourteen Points, self determination for Eastern countries and The League of Nations
        1. Fourteen Points included: No secret treaties. ships of all nations have the right to sail the seas without interference. Alsace-Lorraine returned to France. Self determination in the Austrio Hungarian and Ottoman (Turkish) Empires. Independence to Seribia, Romania and Montenegro. An independent Polish state to be created with access to the sea. The formation of The League of Nations.
        2. David Lloyd George: Britain had suffered during the WWI but not to the extent as France. He believed that Germany should be punished justly (not too harsh). His main aim was to prevent Germany from owning a navy as he wanted Britain to rule the seas in order to maintain its empire.
          1. Georges Clemenceau. France suffered during WWI severley and were determined to prevent such a distaster from occuring again. They wanted Germany to pay for all the war damage, to lose the land they gained and German air forces to be destroyed. Gerenal aim was to cripple German so they couldn't fight France again.
            1. Personalities of the Leaders: G.C: a hard, tough politician with a reputaion for being uncompromising. D.L.G: A realist and a very experienced politicina. W.W: An idealist and a reformer.
              1. Did they get what they wanted?
                1. 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.
                  1. 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.
                2. LEAGUE OF NATIONS
                  1. FAILURES:
                    1. CORFU CRISIS:
                      1. 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.
                      2. MANCHURIAN CRISIS
                        1. 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.
