they believed wilson’s main goal was to expand the power of the united states.

Explanation:

Allied leaders, particularly from France and Britain, wanted severe reparations and territorial losses from Germany to weaken it and prevent future conflict. Wilson's Fourteen Points focused on a more lenient, idealistic approach (like self-determination and a League of Nations) that lacked the harsh punitive measures the Allies demanded.

Answer:

They believed Wilson did not outline a harsh enough punishment for Germany.
