No German or Russian leader was asked to attend the Versailles conference, even though those countries suffered heavily. Except for President Woodrow Wilson, the BIG 4 were more interested in punishing Germany than in creating a lasting peace. Germany was forced to pay REPARATIONS to compensate for the cost of the war. This country would seek revenge in World War Two.
