Pretest

Question 9 • World History

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

Explanation

Lloyd George wanted Germany to pay for the war and give up its colonies, but he also recognized that an excessively harsh settlement could cause future problems. His position was therefore more moderate than the French leader Georges Clemenceau’s demand for severe punishment. The best match is B: he advocated a moderate approach and wanted Germany’s colonies.
