Explanation:

At the Paris Peace Conference, Britain's prime minister (David Lloyd George) had several positions. He wanted to preserve Britain's trading relationship with Germany as a strong German economy could be a trading partner. He advocated for Germany's armed forces to be dismantled to prevent future aggression. He believed treating Germany harshly would lead to future conflicts (a more moderate stance compared to France's desire for extreme punishment). Alsace - Lorraine was returned to France mainly due to French demands. There was no secret alliance sought, and breaking Germany into two smaller countries was not a British position at the main conference.
