PARIS PEACE CONFERENCE 1919

David Lloyd George's success during the War secured the premiership for him after the War when he won a massive majority in the December 1918 general election. Post-war Europe was totally different from that which it was in 1914. Gone were the empires of the Hollenzollerns in Germany, the Hapsburgs in Austria-Hungary, the Romanovs in Russia and as Prime Minister of Britain, Lloyd George was one of the main architects of the new order in the Continent at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. He tried to curb the plans in the Treaty of Versailles to make Germany "pay" for the war because of the strong desire of revenge, especially in France, but his advice was not heeded to a large extent; and at the same time he tried to ensure that Britain was not left behind in gaining any spoils of war.
