Explain why Wilson's idea of a fair and lenient peace ("peace with justice") was a better idea than the harsh peace wanted by the European nations.

Answer:

A just peace would limit bitterness and restore Europe to a healthy economic condition, preventing another world war. Wilson felt the harsh treatment of Germany would result in growing tensions and bitterness. In the end, he was right, as the resulting tension helped lead to World War II.

Answer:

Wilson knew what the Europeans' harsh peace would do and history proven him right. The Federal Republic of Germany was plunged into the inconceivable financial condition and it took Hitler to induce them out, and let's simply say that we tend to all understand that Adolf Hitler did quite a political economy. When WWI the European nations invoked a harshly written agreement on the Germans. This plunged the Germans into a depression, within which they failed to set out of till Adolf Hitler arrived.
