LAD #31: President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points

President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points was proposed in 1918, after World War I. He first talks about conditions in the world including many countries such as Russia, Great Britain, and Germany. The actual Fourteen Points are as follows:
I. Peace and Diplomacy should be followed and used.
II. Freedom of Seas will be granted to everyone.
III. Removal of Economic Barriers.
IV. Removal of armies and no further buildup.
V. Change of views on Colonial claims.
VI. The evacuation and better treatment of Russia
VII. The evacuation and restoration of Belgium.
VIII. The guarantee of French Territory, as well as the acquisition of Alsace-Lorraine.
IX. Adjustment of the borders of Italy.
X. Autonomy in Austria-Hungary.
XI. Evacuation and independence of Rumania, Serbia, and Montenegro.
XII. Sovereignty to Turkey, and the Dardanelles would be opened for free passage of ships.
XIII. An independent Poland.
XIV. General Association of Nations (would become the League of Nations) to talk about world problems to avoid another awful war.
This was meant to create peace, allow for better relations, and avoid another costly war to all countries of the world. This also became influential in negotiating the Armistice with Germany (but did not deal with the Treaty of Versailles).
