 * 1. What caused your country to enter World War 1? **

-Lloyd George was a well known politician in Great Britain, and he was the type of person who felt wanted revenge on Germany, but also the type of person to see beyond and visualize what they were going through. Great Britain was out for revenge towards Germany, and messages such as killing the kaiser, and make Germany pay, were two sayings in Great Britain that were widely seen immediately after World War I, and some would say that Lloyd George echo'd the image of Great Britain taking revenge. But there was a different side of him that not many people knew about. Lloyd Georges also knew that communism was spreading about in Russia, and that concerned him: not only for Great Britain, but for a lot of other countries, including Germany.Also, he knew that Germany was the only country that could stop the spread of communism. Germany definitely had to be punished for what they did, but not to the point where they are deprived of everything that they have. However, Lloyd George knew that these views of things would be the death of him, so he kept his thoughts of the war to himself.
