Question 4 • US History Studies Since 1877

How were the views of France and the United Kingdom similar at the end of World War I?

Answer
A
They believed that Germany needed to rebuild its economy.
B
They each planned to adopt President Wilson’s Fourteen Points.
C
They were opposed to taking part in secret agreements.
D
They wanted Germany to be punished for the destruction caused during the war.

Explanation

Both France and the United Kingdom wanted Germany held responsible for the war’s destruction, including through reparations. France generally favored a harsher settlement, while Britain also supported requiring Germany to pay for damages. The other choices do not describe a view they shared: they differed on secret agreements and Wilson’s Fourteen Points, and rebuilding Germany’s economy was not their common priority.
