He advocated a moderate approach and wanted Germany’s colonies.
He wanted to punish Germany for starting the war.
He shared much of Wilson’s vision of “peace without victory.”
He did not want to negotiate; he wanted to keep fighting.

He advocated a moderate approach and wanted Germany’s colonies.

Lloyd George sought a balance: some punishment/reparations to satisfy public opinion, but not so harsh as to cripple Germany’s economy. He also wanted to protect British interests and gain overseas territories/mandates.
