Dialog

Woodrow Wilson Gentlemen, we must not let vengeance blind us. The League of Nations will ensure lasting peace—this treaty must be built on justice, not retribution.
Georges Clemenceau Justice? France has bled for justice, President Wilson. Your idealism will not rebuild our villages or return our dead.
David Lloyd George Gentlemen, let us not lose sight of practicality. Germany must pay, but we must also ensure she does not collapse—chaos serves no one.
Georges Clemenceau Ah, the British balance—always weighing gold against blood.
Woodrow Wilson If we sow the seeds of resentment, we will reap another war. The world cannot endure this again.
David Lloyd George Then let us find terms that satisfy security without breeding desperation. There is wisdom in moderation.
Georges Clemenceau Moderation? France has had enough of moderation. The Tiger does not purr today.
