At the Versailles Conference, John Maynard Keynes advocated for a more lenient peace, arguing that the Treaty was excessively punitive towards Germany. His influential book, a bestseller, shaped public opinion against the treaty and the League of Nations, highlighting the unfair treatment of Germany, which later fueled support for appeasement in Britain.
