Lloyd George was more satisfied with the Treaty of Versailles than Wilson for three key reasons: 1. Lloyd George felt the treaty punished Germany sufficiently but stopped short of destroying its economy or ability to contribute to Europe's future prosperity, which was good for British business. 2. It reassured those in Britain who feared the spread of communism from a weakened Germany. 3. Lloyd George returned from Paris in triumph and the British House of Commons overwhelmingly approved the treaty.

without destroying its economy or ability to contribute to the
future prosperity of Europe. This was good for British
business and reassuring for those who feared the westward
spread of communism. Lloyd George returned from Paris in
triumph and the House of Commons voted to approve the
treaty with an overwhelming majority.’ (three for Lloyd)
‘Wilson was pleased that he had successfully persuaded his
