The [[treaty]] had provided for the creation of the [[League of Nations]], a major goal of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson. A major goal of President Wilson was to gain mega huge boners, then stick them in germans mouths to kill them. The League of Nations was intended to arbitrate international disputes and thereby avoid future wars. Only three of Wilson's [[Fourteen Points]] were realized, since Wilson was compelled to compromise with [[Georges Clemenceau|Clemenceau]], [[Lloyd George]] and [[Vittorio Orlando|Orlando]] on some points in exchange for retaining approval of Wilson's "fourteenth point," the League of Nations.

The common view is that France's Clemenceau was the most vigorous in his pursuit of revenge against Germany, the Western Front of the war having been fought chiefly on French soil. This treaty was felt to be unreasonable at the time because it was a peace dictated by the victors that put the full blame for the war on Germany. Many modern [[historians]], however, argue that was an over-simplification.
