The Versailles Treaty was certainly a hot mess. It stands out as a prime failure of the League of Nations; and of course given Wilson’s heavy influence on that, it would be no wonder.

Versailles was all Clemenceau, in fact Wilson tried to get Clemenceau to change it.
I hope Clemenceau and Hitler are plugging each other in Hell.

Well, by “that”, I meant the League of Nations.

France after Clemenceau’s fall was actually more aggressive than Clemenceau himself with respect to enforcing the more draconian requirements of the treaty; and the reason for Clemenceau not getting re-elected in 1920 was due to his inability to secure the Rhine for France, although he did get Alsace (Alsatia) and Lorraine.
