My country, France, has fought in this war and has several demands for Austria-Hungary and Germany. We wish that Germany return our territory Alsace- Lorraine which they took in 1870. We request that Germany and its allies accept full responsibilty for the war it has caused. We also request that Germany's military force be limited, so that it will not be a major threat in the future. These are our demands and we hope that Germany and Austria-Hungary follow them.
