What was the main conflict after World War 1 between president Wilson and our allies regarding the treatment of Germany?

After World War I, the main conflict between President Woodrow Wilson and the Allies concerned the harshness of the proposed Treaty of Versailles towards Germany. Wilson advocated for a more lenient approach, emphasizing his Fourteen Points, which called for self-determination and a fair peace to prevent future conflicts. In contrast, the Allies, particularly France and Britain, sought to impose severe reparations and territorial losses on Germany to ensure it could not threaten them again. This disagreement highlighted the tension between Wilson's idealism and the Allies' desire for security and retribution.
