Marshal Foch in 1918 said that France would never be secure without the Rhine- land. Without the protection of the Rhine there was a formidable wedge of German territory thrust between France and Belgium.. But President Wilson and Mr Lloyd George refused to let France take the Rhineland, and in return promised her a de- fensive alliance. When France relinquished her claim the United States withdrew | << from that promise, and Great Britain, "in an hour disastrous to European civilisa- tion," followed suit.
