Problems
with
the
Alliance
systems
-
correct
answer-Europeans
at
the
time
thought
that
an
Alliance
System
would
deter
nations
to
start
invasions
and
wars
and
reduce
tension
between
the
Great
Powers.
Many
politicians
called
this
"Balance
of
Powers"
and
believed
that
the
size
and
power
of
the
two
Alliances
would
prevent
the
other
side
from
starting
a
war.
What
was
the
Anglo-German
naval
rivalry?
-
correct
answer-The
Anglo
German
naval
race
developed
with
the
German's
building
up
their
naval
strength
with
the
Dreadnought
program.
Their
naval
expansion
made
Britain
uneasy
(They
wanted
to
remain
with
the
strongest
navy).
The
British
built
a
'Super
Dreadnought'
in
response.
In
1914,
the
British
had
19
Dreadnoughts
whereas
Germany
only
had
13.
Tensions
continued
to
grow
and
their
governments
used
media
to
persuade
their
people
to
convince
them
to
raise
taxation
in
order
to
finance
the
massive
arms
race.
What
did
President
Wilson
want?
-
correct
answer-He
did
not
want
to
be
too
harsh
on
Germany—he
wanted
Germany
to
have
a
chance
to
recover
and
not
seek
revenge.
He
felt
that
if
Germany
was
punished
harshly
it
would
give
extremist
groups
such
as
Communists
a
chance
to
seize
power
(like
Russia
in
1917).
Strengthen
democracy
in
defeated
countries
so
that
another
war
can
be
prevented.
Self-determination
to
smaller
countries
that
were
part
of
European
empires—so
they
can
rule
themselves.
International
Cooperation
in
the
form
of
the
League
of
Nations—he
believed
that
this
is
key
to
achieve
world
peace
What
did
George
Clemenceau
want?
-
correct
answer-Clemenceau
wanted
to
punish
Germany
so
harshly
that
Germany
would
be
crippled
and
never
to
be
a
threat
to
France
again.
He
did
not
like
Wilson's
14
Points.
France
was
deeply
affected
by
the
First
World
War
and
the
people
in
France
wanted
to
cripple
Germany
as
well—Clemenceau
had
to
present
these
ideas
to
Wilson
and
George
How

up
to
6,600
million
pounds.
Germany
wouldn't
have
finished
paying
for
this
until

if
not
for
the
Young
Plan
iii)
Germany's
territories
taken
