∙ 11y agoGeorge Clemenceau of France wanted to take revenge against Germany and punish it harshly. This is because Germany had invaded France in the First World War and caused it to lose two thirds of its army.
He wanted Germany to pay for all the damage it had caused in the First World War.
He wanted to weaken Germany so it could not invade France again.
He argued with Lloyd George of Britain and Wilson of the USA because they both were far away from Germany and therefore protected but France was not protected.
Woodrow Wilson of USA wanted to punish Germany but not too harshly and make a fair peace.
He wanted to keep the world safe and to disarm Germany so that they could settle their disputes without violence.
He also wanted to create a League of Nations that could judge and settle disputes between countries. He asked Clemenceau to make the punishment of Germany 'moderate'.
David Lloyd George of Britain wanted to punish Germany but not too harshly. He wanted 'justice' but not 'revenge'. Punishing Germany too harshly may cause wars with Germany in the future when they recover from their punishment. He wanted Germany to pay for the entire cost of the war. He also wanted to increase Britain's trade and maintain British control of the seas and expand the British Empire. He wanted to reduce Germany's navy because he thought they were a threat to the British navies.

Would it be better if the big three had been harsher on Germany?
Your question suggests that you think Germany is now (in 2006) a problem for the rest of the world. In what way? The Big Three were much harsher than the victors at Versailles at the end of WW1.
How did personalities of the Big Three affect the Treaty of Versailles?
OK, let's go through each member of the Big Three in turn... First, Woodrow Wilson, president of USA... He happened to be a bit of an idealist, and this was reflected in his aims for the Treaty of Versailles (think of the 14 points). He wanted to build a stronger world out of the carnage of the war. The other two thought his views were a bit too idealistic. Next, Georges Clemenceau, prime minister of France... His nickname was the tiger. His country had suffered more than any other in the war, as most of the fighting took place on French soil. He and the rest of France had watched their country burn and they wanted revenge. Therefore, he helped make the Treaty harsher than perhaps the other two of the Big Three desired. The last member, David Lloyd George, prime minister of Great Britain, had opinions and aims for the Treaty that can be considered to be 'in the middle' of the others' - but this doesn't mean to say that he wasn't biased. Britain did a lot of trade with Germany and Lloyd George wanted Germany to be able to continue with this. However, Britain had lost a huge number of soldiers and the public clamour for revenge could not be entirely ignored. This affected the Treaty in that it helped to make it harsh, but not as harsh as Clemenceau had wanted. The culmination of all these different aims for the Treaty ended in a result which nobody out of the Big Three were satisfied with - in fact no country at all liked the Treaty. Their aims were all so varied that they could never really reach an appropriate decision.
