At the Paris Peace Conference, President Wilson argued that Germany should be forced to pay reparations to the Allies.
Explanation:
The Pariz Peace Conference of 1919 was a conclave in which the victorious powers of World War I met to outline the conditions under which the peace that would conclude said conflict would be signed. These four nations were America, Britain, France and Italy, who had different positions, ambitions and requirements.
Of all these nations, America, represented by President Wilson, was the one seeking a more just and lasting peace. Thus, although it identified Germany as the aggressor nation and condemned it to pay the corresponding war reparations, it did not seek the total dismantling of the economic and productive capacity of Germany, as if it were done by France, Italy and to a lesser extent Britain, who saw Germany as a threat to their own interests and sought, in addition to paying reparations, other types of harsher sanctions.
