the Allies were more concerned with punishment and restitution than with peace.
Explanation: Britain and especially France wanted security, reparations, and to weaken Germany, so they compromised or ignored many of Wilson’s idealistic points at Versailles. Wilson had to give ground on key issues, the U.S. later refused to ratify the Treaty/League, and the resulting Treaty of Versailles was punitive — all factors that prevented the Fourteen Points from producing a lasting settlement.
