QB The question will give you a source. It will ask if it agrees with a statement. You need to decide if it agrees or not. Is it reliable enough to agree? Can you trust it? Does it agree with your knowledge? You then need to make a judgement and give a reason.

Key things to mention in a full mark answer: Lloyd George isclaimingthat he wants to drainevery penny fromgermany to make them pay the whole cost of the war little quotes are useful. This should match your knowledge that Britain as a whole wanted a punishment for Germany, though you should also remember that some British and Americans such as Wilson wanted to be more gentle on Germany to prevent future problems. You might even remember the name Keynes or mention some other knowledge you have revised... So you know that it only partly matches your knowledge as it does not really reflect the whole Big three. It is dated straight after WW1 so tensions were still high and the British public were angry with Germany. Therefore it seems more aggressive. It is a political speech in an election campaign, so it will have been written to gain votes. Ifthe public wanted revenge, then Lloyd George would haveto promiseitit to win the vote. It is probably different to if he wrote his diary on the topic, etc. So overall, it partly matches your knowledge from your revision but is a bit more extreme than Lloyd George really felt due to the date and purpose/nature of the source. Therefore it was ONE of the things that the Big Three wanted, but allowing that Lloyd George did not really feel this strong about Germany, and that USA certainly did not, we cannot say that it is the MAIN thing that the Big Three wanted to happen to Germany.
