David Lloyd George (1863-1945) was the British Prime Minister during World War 1. During the negotiations of the Treaty of Versailles in Paris, France, George wanted to maintain the supremacy of Greta Britain in Europe and punish the Germans for the destruction caused in World War 1, but like a good diplomat and negotiator he was, he understood that harsh treatment over Germany could be the cause of another war in the not so distant future.
