The terms of the Treaty of Versailles were extremely harsh towards Germany who had taken responsibility for the war. France, Britain and Italy wanted to take revenge and punish the Germans. Wilson's Fourteen Points Plan was criticized for being to lenient towards Germany and were scuttled and by the other leaders of the Allies. The terms of Treaty of Versailles detailed territorial and military changes and addressed War-Guilt provisions that demanded massive amounts of money (Reparations) as compensation for the Great War. The terms of Treaty of Versailles did however create the League of Nations as suggested in President Wilson's 14 Points.
