Hoped to get some of Germany's land in what is present-day northern Italy. However, they only played a minor role in the negotiations

Great Britain:
1) To defend British interests by preserving Britain’s naval supremacy that had been threatened by Germany in the run up to the war, maintaining Britain’s empire and possibly increased colonial expansion;

2) To reduce Germany’s future military power and to obtain reparations,

3) Not to create an embittered Germany that would seek revenge and threaten peace in the long term future; and lastly,

4) To help Germany economically to become a strong trading partner with Britain.

Answer 2

The Treaty of Versailles (1919) was the peace treaty which officially ended World War I between the Allied and Associated Powers and the Central Powers. After six months of negotiations, which took place at the Paris Peace Conference, the treaty was signed as a follow-up to the armistice signed on November 11, 1918 in the Compiègne Forest (which had put an end to the actual fighting). Although there were many provisions in the treaty, one of the more important and recognized provisions required Germany and her allies to accept full responsibility for causing the war and, under the terms of articles 231-248, make reparations to certain countries that had formed the Allies.
