What argument is Georges Clemenceau, the French premier, making in this statement? Napoleon was the finest general in French his
tory. France is far safer than either Britain or the United States. France has far more to fear from a strong Germany than either the United States or Britain. The war caused more damage to French property than to British or American property.
France has far more to fear from a strong Germany than either the United States or Britain.
Explanation:
Clemenceau argued that the Germans would have done the same thing to Britain and France if they had won the war. He believed that France would never be safe unless Germany was crippled. In his view, Germany should be forced to pay large amounts in reparations to Belgium and France.
The answer was that <em><u> France has far more to fear from a strong Germany than either the United States or Britain.</u></em> This was of his believe before the fallout of world war 1 that Germany were preparing for war and France should do same.
<em>He has that fear that Germany would overide the French country if care is not taken as a result of the previous incident when Napoleon III declared war on Germany, marking the beginning of the Franco-Prussian War. Unfortunately for Napoleon III, the Germans quickly defeated the French and his empire fell apart.</em>
