    The Treaty of Versailles ended World War I and imposed punitive terms on Germany. The Big Three - Clemenceau of France, Wilson of the US, and Lloyd George of Britain - had differing views on how harsh Germany's punishment should be. Under the treaty, Germany lost territory, was required to pay massive reparations, and faced severe military restrictions including a small professional army and no air force or navy to prevent future aggression. Wilson's goal of establishing a League of Nations to guarantee peace was also part of the treaty.
