The biggest difference between Wilson's Fourteen points and the Paris Peace Conference agreement was on how to deal with the war losses and the socio-economic future of Europe.
Explanation:
Woodrow Wilson did not talk about war repatriation or any 'revenge' upon an enemy nation. Instead he spoke about the rights of people, discussed free trade and an end to hostilities and also discussed the formation of a few borders, especially an Independent Polish State and the future of the Ottoman Empire.
This however, did not go down well with the European powers, who had bared the real cost of the war. The French industry had collapsed under German pressure and the country was looking for millions in repatriation costs.
The Russians were not happy with an Independent 'Polish' State and had their own claim to the region.

Explanation:
Napoleon had occupied Spain and also wanted to control Portugal to exclude the British. He invaded Russia with the largest army ever assembled until then in history in the summer of 1812: half a million men. The Russian kept withdrawing and only fought some major frontal battles with La Grande Armée. Moscow was abandoned, the French occupied it without resistance, but a few days later, it was burned by the Russians; the French were left with no food. Just before the start of the winter, Napoleon quit Moscow with his army for a long retreat with no appropiate winter clothes and no food; they were harassed by Cosacks and were persecuted by the Russian army; only around 20,000-30,000 men survived the disastrous campaign that broke France´s might. Napoleon raised another army, but his enemies proved to be stronger this time and force his abdication in 1814 while Paris was surrounded.
He was sent to exile to Elba, but he escaped in 1815 and retook power. He fought his last battle in Waterloo, Belgium, on June 18, 1815, he suffered his final defeat at the hands of the British and the Prussians.
