He achieved that by forcing the adoption of the convoy system by the Royal Navy.  At the Paris Peace conference in 1919, Lloyd shapes the final decision to a large extent by influencing on both the harsh demands of George Clemenceau and the idealistic proposals of Woodrow Wilson. At the end he said the treaty was a fail and there will be another war in twenty years.
