-Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points

Accepted Answer

Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points were a set of principles outlined by President Woodrow Wilson in January 1918 as a basis for peace negotiations to end World War I. The points were intended to serve as a blueprint for a new world order and to prevent future conflicts.

The Fourteen Points included proposals for open diplomacy, freedom of the seas, free trade, disarmament, and the adjustment of colonial claims based on the principle of self-determination. Wilson also called for the establishment of a League of Nations, an international organization aimed at promoting peace and preventing future wars.

The Fourteen Points were significant in shaping the post-war world and were incorporated into the Treaty of Versailles, which officially ended World War I. While not all of Wilson's proposals were fully realized, they laid the groundwork for future international agreements and organizations, and they continue to be influential in discussions of international relations and diplomacy.
