USA's point of view on the treaty:      

# data[].attributes.body
USA think that the treaty of Versailles was unfair to Germany.

What they didn't get:

Since Wilson's approach to the treaty clashes to both Britain and France, Wilson's points and arguments about the peace settlement does not agree with both. But some of the aspects of his fourteen points were incorporated to the peace settlement.

Treaty of Versailles impact on Germany - Wingsee 10G3

# data[].attributes.body
After 4 years, 3 months and 14 days of war - which caused 1.7 billion casualties to the Germany army and left 4.2 million wounded - Germany was subjected to accept the blame for starting WW1 (clause 231), losing 10% of their land, 12.5% of their population, Germany's colonies, and reduction of military power. To add salt to the wound, the country had to pay reparation which costs £6,600 million and they were not even allowed to join the League of Nations. Needless to say, the Germans were furious.

Financial impact:
-Germany lost their richest farming land - West Prussia.
-Germany lost its sources of raw material and income - their colonies.
-Germany lost industrial strength.
-Germany had to build up its own economy while paying for the reparations, being unable to unite with Austria made situations worse.
-Hyper-inflation took place in 1923, $1 was equivalent to 4.2 billion German marks.

Political impact:
-Many Germans did not trust and support the Weimar Republic since they signed the Treaty of Versailles.
-There was no restoration of monarchy since the Dutch government did not hand over Kaiser.
-Germany became politically isolated because allies distrusted Germany.
-Many Germans believed that the terms of Treaty of Versailles would be less harsh without Kaiser and the Imperial government.

USA did not suffer economically as severely as France and Britain since they joined the war in 1917. Woodrow Wilson thought that the leaders of Europe were the cause for the World War 1 outbreak and thought it was USA's mission to prevent another one. He wanted to use his 14 points to prevent another war but at the Paris Peace Conference, he was forced to compromise with the other leaders of states who were much less idealistic than him. Wilson believed that the Treaty of Versailles was too harsh and that he would not have signed the treaty if he were a German.

France

- Clemenceau thought that the treaty wasn't harsh enough and wanted revenge for the damage they had caused.

- Clemenceau had borrowed money for the war and was in debt. Clemenceau wanted Germany to pay $200 billion so that he could pay off the loans. The amount was moderated to a figure which satisfied Woodrow Wilson.

- Clemenceau didn't want Wilson to establish the League Of Nations as he thought it wouldn't be strong enough to ensure the security of France.

- French President Poincaré wanted Germany to be broken up into smaller colonies. Clemenceau, however knew that Wilson and David Lloyd would never agree.

- Clemenceau doubted that the Treaty of Versailles could protect France, so he demanded that the Rhineland become an independent state.

The German delegate went to Versailles with an expectation to have a peace proposal but when the treaty was presented to him he was shocked that he would not be given any room for negotiation in the treaty.
Germany was forced tp give up 10% of its land
and the Treaty also restricted the Germans’ armed forces to only 100,000 men in the army, no submarines or aeroplanes, and only six battleships which made the germans very angry ,the Treaty’s territorial decisions affected Germany’s economy dramatically with the loss  of West Prussia took away Germany’s richest farming land but the reparation they had to deal with caused the majority of the economy to collapse in Germany.
