B

C

F
Germany was unhappy it could not participate in the treaty negotiations.
G

Explanation

Japan felt its wartime contribution had not been adequately rewarded, while France considered the treaty insufficiently harsh on Germany. Great Britain, especially under Lloyd George, worried that excessive punishment could destabilize Germany. Germany was excluded from the negotiations and resented being forced to accept the treaty under threat of invasion. The US Congress was not happy about the League of Nations, and Italy was disappointed with the rewards it received, so A and D are not correct.
