N15P11 MS Qn 5(b) Why were Wilson’s expectations of the Peace Settlement of 1919–20 different from those of Clemenceau?

Level 4 Explains TWO reasons [6] 

 Level 3 Explains ONE reason [4–5] 
 (One mark for an explanation, additional mark for full explanation) e.g. ‘France had made a greater sacrifice during the War than the USA and Clemenceau realised there was a national desire for revenge against Germany. Wilson took a more detached view of the peace proceedings because America had only been in the War for just over a year and no American territory had been invaded and casualties were relatively light.’ 

 Level 2 Identifies AND/OR describes reasons [2–3] (One mark for each identification/description) e.g. ‘Clemenceau wanted security for France in the future.’ ‘France had been invaded for the second time in fifty years.’ ‘France and Germany shared a border.’ ‘Clemenceau wanted to weaken Germany’s armed forces and economy.’ ‘Wilson hoped to produce a fair and lasting peace.’ ‘Wilson wanted the League of Nations.’ ‘He wanted his Fourteen Points implemented.’ ‘His approach was based on ideals and high principles.’ ‘Clemenceau was interested in ‘self-interest’.’ 

 Level 1 General answer lacking specific contextual knowledge [1] e.g. ‘The countries’ experiences were so different.’
