Solution
The correct option is A True
In public, Clemenceau of course agreed with Wilson's aim for a fair and lasting peace. However, he found Wilson very hard to work with. While he did not publicly criticise the Fourteen points, Clemenceau once pointed out that even God had only needed Ten Commandments!
He disagreed with George Llyod and Wilson over Germany. He and other French leaders saw the treaty as an opportunity to cripple Germany so that it could not attack France again.
The French President even wanted Germany broken up into a collection of smaller states, but Clemenceau knew that the British and America would not agree to this.
