Concept note-3: -At the Paris Peace Conference, the French Prime Minister, Georges Clemenceau, controlled his delegation and his chief goal was to weaken Germany militarily, strategically and economically.
Concept note-4: -Lloyd George’s main objective at the conference was to protect British interests and build strong relationships with other world powers, especially the United States (MacMillan 42).
