Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: D) Both European leaders were more interested in punishing the Germans through reparations and loss of territory than in preventing another world war.

Explanation:

 British Prime Minister, Lloyd George, and the French Premier, Clemenceau, wanted to push forward the demands. Lloyd George won an election in 1918, under the banner of 'making the Germans pay'.

French wanted to look for security against future German attacks and look for them to repair all the damage caused in northern France.
