Question

• All of the above

Answer 1

All of the above

Explanation:

Prominent representatives of the Allied powers decided on the Treaty of Versailles' terms, including:

1. Woodrow Wilson (President of the USA) advocated for his Fourteen Points, focusing on peace and self-determination.
2. Lloyd George (Prime Minister of the UK) sought to balance punishing Germany with preserving stability in Europe.
3. George Clemenceau (Prime Minister of France) pushed for harsh reparations and penalties to weaken Germany and ensure France's security.

These leaders collectively shaped the treaty, though their competing national interests led to a mix of harsh penalties and idealistic principles.
