No. The other Allies wanted to punish Germany harshly for its actions.
Although Wilson got some of his ideas into the treaty (notably the League of Nations and a few territorial adjustments), the treaty was fundamentally punitive: the War Guilt clause (Article 231), heavy reparations, severe territorial losses, occupation of the Rhineland, and strict military limits made it a “victor’s peace,” not the “peace without victory” Wilson had advocated.
