Motives of Great Britain
- The British Empire, led by David Lloyd George, was the largest empire; "The sun never sets on the British Empire."
- British motives were milder than France yet stricter than America; a halfway point
- Britain wanted reparations, but not as severely as the French as they wanted them as a trade partner
- wanted to take land from the German Empire, to maintain British control of the seas to increase trade.
- sought after the security of France
- Supported the League of Nations (Founded by Woodrow Wilson)
- wanted justice, but not revenge. Lloyd George stated that peace must not be harsh - that would just cause another war in a few years time.
