Woodrow Wilson’s 14 Points
Wilson wanted a strong yet agreeable peace arrangement
Created the 14 points to satisfy this need
The Point of the Treaty
Main Points: Point One
“Open covenants of peace openly arrived at.”
This means that there will be no more secret agreements between countries.
As countries entered the war they entered on previous agreements made in secret
Main Points: Point Two
“Freedom of the seas.”No one owns or controls
territory in the sea, or that the seas would be off limits because of the effect it has on trade and commerce.
Main Points: Point Three
“Freedom from trade barriers.”
All countries are free to trade with each other in what ever manner they like
Main Points: Point Four
“Reduction of armaments” All countries that
participated in WWI had amassed a huge amount of weaponry and equipment
These weapons would be reduced in number, especially chemical weapons, which is why there involvement in WWII was very little.
Main Points: Point Five “Impartial adjustment of
colonial claims.” All colonies will be dealt with
in a fair and just way, in accordance to what the colonies’ people demand
Main Point: Point Fourteen The final point was to setup
the league of nations The League was created to
enforce these points and ensure the freedoms they provide.
