Answer 1

Answer:

They worried that the harsh terms would lead to more trouble in Europe.

Explanation:

Economists like John Maynard Keynes encourage a peace treaty without any desire for justice or revenge. According to him, high amount of reparation and war debts will lead to further consequences in the World, especially in the economy. He urged for limited reparation and forget all war debts. Keynes wanted the US government to begin a loan program to restore Europe. All his request remain rejected as President Wilson determined to punish Germany at all costs. After World War I, Germany under the Treaty of Versailles humiliated and forced to pay reparation to the allied powers. The country entered into economic depression. The Nazi party began to rise in Germany as it promised to bring back the economy and pride of the nation.
