The Anglo-Saxon view of Clemenceau is based on Keynes’s misjudged caricature, that he imposed a treaty that was harsh and oppressive to Germany. French critics’ view, however, is that he had been too lenient, and left Germany in a position to challenge the treaty. The failure was not of the treaty, but in the subsequent failure to insist on maintaining it in the face of German resistance.
