LAD #31 Wilson's Fourteen Points

After the Great War, leaders and delgates from many of the nations involved met in Versailles, France on November of 1918 to negotiate terms of peace. The goals of Wilson and the other leaders varied as most European nations wanted to punish Germany for being the aggressor versus Wilson who wanted peace within all the nations. He proposed a plan of 14 points that would hopefully prevent another world war, only one was used in the Treaty of Versailles:
1. No more secret alliances
2. Freedom of the seas
3. No economic barriers
4. Reduction of arms
5. Self-government in colonies
6. Evacuation of Russian territory
7. Evacuation and restoration of Belgium
8. Evacuation and restoration of French territories
9. Readjustment of Italy's Borders
10. Austria-Hungary accorded the freest oppurtunity to autonomous development
11. Romania, Serbia and Montenegro should be evacuated and restored.
12. The Turkish portion of the present Ottoman Empire should be assured a secure sovereignty.
13. Polish Indepence
14. Creation of a league of nations in an attempt to avoid more world wars (only one adopted in Treaty of Versailles).
