World War I Ends — Unit test

Question 7 • NY-Global History and Geography II

Each country had its own goals in negotiating the Treaty of Versailles. What was the goal of the British prime minister, David Lloyd George?

Answer
A
He advocated a moderate approach and wanted Germany’s colonies.
B
He wanted to punish Germany for starting the war.
C
He shared much of Wilson’s vision of “peace without victory.”
D
He did not want to negotiate; he wanted to keep fighting.

Explanation

Lloyd George favored a compromise: Britain wanted Germany to pay for the war and surrender its colonies, but he opposed destroying Germany or imposing terms so harsh that it could not recover. This makes the best answer the choice saying he advocated a moderate approach and wanted Germany’s colonies. The goal of punishing Germany above all is more closely associated with France’s position.
