Which British prime minister signed the Treaty of Versailles in 1919?

David Lloyd George, (born Jan. 17, 1863, Manchester, England.—died March 26, 1945, Caernarvonshire, Wales), was British prime minister from 1916–1922 and dominated the British political scene in the latter part of World War I. He signed the Treaty of Versailles on behalf of the United Kingdom.

The Treaty of Versailles was signed by Germany and the Allied Nations on June 28, 1919, formally ending World War One. The terms of the treaty required that Germany pay financial reparations, disarm, lose territory, and give up all of its overseas colonies. It also called for the creation of the League of Nations, an institution that President Woodrow Wilson strongly supported and had originally outlined in his Fourteen Points address. Despite Wilson's efforts, including a nationwide speaker tour, the Treaty of Versailles was rejected by the United States Senate twice, in 1919 and 1920. The United States ultimately signed a separate peace treaty with Germany in 1921, although it never joined the League of Nations.
