Woodrow Wilson wanted all the parties involved in WW I to make concessions in his famous "Fourteen Points"-proposal. Germany was specifically asked to evacuate all territories it had occupied in Russia, Belgium and France and to return Alsace-Lorraine to France, which it had annexed after the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. Wilson however quickly discovered that the other Allies had no intention of making a single concession themselves and were only interested in settling old scores to their advantage and make Germany pay for the cost of the war.
