Answer 2

The right alternative is the letter D. This is because when the German leaders signed the armistice, many of them believed that the "Fourteen Points" would be the basis of the future peace treaty, but when the leaders of the governments of the United States, Britain, France and Italy met in Paris to discuss the terms of the treaty, the European side of the "Big Four" had other plans. The United Powers saw Germany as the main instigator of the conflict and, as such, imposed particularly harsh conditions on that country.
