Motives of France At the Paris Peace Conference
- France was led by Georges Clemeceau
- Clemenceau wanted to dismember Germany
- France wanted to weaken Germany so they could never war again
- Clemenceau sought a guarantee of French security in the event of another German attack
- Was "bored" by Woodrow Wilsons '14 points'
- Wanted stern reparations paid
"A collective tyrant, spread over the length and breadth of the land, is no more acceptable than a single tyrant ensconced on his throne"
