J14P11 MSQn5(b) Why did the aims of the ‘Big Three’ at Versailles differ?

Level 0 No evidence submitted or response does not address the question [0] 

Level 1 General answer lacking specific contextual knowledge [1] 
e.g.
 ‘The Big Three were from different countries.’ 
‘They were all very different people.’ 

Level 2 Identifies AND/OR describes reasons [2–3] 
(One mark for each point – needs to be the issue over which the Three or Two differed.) 
e.g. 
‘The USA, Britain and France had very different experiences of the impact of war.’ 
‘The amount of damage suffered was different.’ ‘France wanted to destroy Germany’s military whilst Lloyd George wanted Germany’s navy destroyed.’ 
‘Clemenceau wanted to destroy Germany as a country, whereas Wilson wanted a just and lasting peace.’ 
‘Clemenceau wanted…/ Lloyd George wanted…/Wilson wanted…’ 

Level 3 Explains reasons [4–7] 
(One mark for an explanation, additional mark for full explanation.) 
e.g. ‘Clemenceau wanted a harsh treaty because of the damage caused by Germany and the high loss of life. The Germans had destroyed many mines in their retreat.’ 
e.g. ‘Clemenceau wanted to cripple Germany so that it could not threaten France again. France had suffered enormous damage to its land and industry and had two-thirds of its men who served in the French army killed or injured. In contrast, the USA had not suffered invasion during the war. Wilson wanted Germany to be punished but not so harshly.
