The big 4 were France, Italy, Great Britain, and the US. France wanted the most from Germany because most of the war was fought there. The signing of the The Treaty of Versailles ended WW1. This treaty eventually led to WW11.Because of this Treaty Germany’s army was reduced to 100,000 men and was not allowed any tanks. They weren’t allowed an air force either. They were allowed 6 naval capital ships and no submarines. This treaty also affected fincancial and territorial stuff.A few other general things about the Treaty were Germany had to admit full responsibility for starting the war. This was called the “war guilt clause”.A league of Nations was set up to keep world peaceThe league of nations had five permanent members.-Great Britain.-France,-Italy,-US-Japan.It also had four non permanent members that rotated.
