Detailed explanation-1: -Wilson did not think that Germany should be punished for the war, and therefore he did not want to treaty on Germany to be too harsh. It was a worry of Wilson that if Germany was treated particularly badly then it could provoke another war.
Detailed explanation-2: -The two countries’ leaders wanted to see Germany pay reparations for the cost of the war and accept the blame for causing the war. Wilson’s intentions were very different. Wilson desired to create a system that would keep future wars from happening, as well as promoting a U.S. vision of democracy and peace.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wilson demanded an apology from Germany and stayed his neutral course as long as possible. Germany’s unrestricted submarine warfare, however, was an intolerable affront to America’s dignity and honor.
