C. Reparation From Germany Explanation:During the treaty meetings at Versailles, the event that officially put an end to WWI, the American President Woodrow Wilson  advocated for diplomacy over violence and actively participated by proposing peaceful negotiations to a long-lasting peace in Europe, that included not to punish defeated Germany in a cruel manner and not to demand it the cost of all war reparations. Instead, Wilson advocated for measures designed to bring peace and justice to all nations such as the creation of the League of Nations, gradual disarmament, self-determination for colonies and freedom of the seas.

C. Reparations from Germany. The Versailles Peace Conference (1919–20) aimed to set the terms in which for defeated Germany. It resulted in the treaty of Versailles, which established Germany as the aggressor and responsible for causing WW I, and consequently, made it the one who had to pay for all the damages, losses and reparations to the Allies countries.Most of the treaty didn't represent President Wilson's vision, expressed in his Fourteen Points speech (January 1918). He was an advocator of achieving peace between nations by bringing justice to all nationalities, which included to not treat too harshly the defeated Central Powers. Demanding Germany to pay for reparations was a harsh measure that later contributed to the weakening of German's economy.

Reparations from Germany.Explanation:The Treaty of Versailles was produced as a result of the peace treaty drawn up to stop the First World War. But more important than that, it accuses the nation of Germany as the sole reason for all the loss of life and damage, solely putting the blame on the European nation.But despite the agreement, President Woodrow Wilson did not seem to agree with the treaty points laid out. One such point is the need to make Germany pay for all that it had caused. Contrary to his famous "Fourteen Points" speech where he stressed the need for "peace without victory", the treaty blamed Germany and made her pay for the damage. His proposed scheme of peaceful negotiations between the parties failed with the demand for reparation payments from Germany.
