Answer: They wanted to punish Germany for World War I and have them pay war reparations.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first the Allied Powers did not support President Wilson and his 14 Point plan because they believed that Germany should be heavily punished for initiating World War 1 and they wanted them to pay reparations.

This was especially true for France which had seen the majority of fighting on the western front. They wanted Germany to pay them so that they would be able to fix the damage at least somewhat.
