What are Georges Clemenceaus goals at the Paris peace conference?

Georges Clemenceau, the French Prime Minister, aimed to secure strong security guarantees for France following World War I, primarily through the imposition of heavy reparations and territorial losses on Germany. He sought to weaken Germany militarily and economically to prevent future conflicts. Additionally, Clemenceau wanted to reclaim Alsace-Lorraine and ensure that France regained its status as a leading power in Europe. His firm stance often put him at odds with other leaders, particularly Woodrow Wilson, who favored a more lenient approach.
