Furthermore, Wilson's plan was highly idealistic and might have worked in a perfect world]]> 2018-02-19 17:51:01 UTC https://padlet.com/20cottno/i4971tgg3bzp/wish/233004769 20cottno https://padlet.com/20cottno/i4971tgg3bzp/wish/233006419 This point called for an end to secret alliances. The reasoning for this being Austria-Hungary's surprise, when attacking vulnerable Serbia, of Russia backing Serbia up. Although this plan is practical and has merit, it is not enforceable]]> 2018-02-19 17:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/20cottno/i4971tgg3bzp/wish/233006419 20cottno https://padlet.com/20cottno/i4971tgg3bzp/wish/233008257 Wilson wished for freedom of seas. This point is directly derived from the U-boat attacks in unrestricted areas that provoked the United States into the war. This point is much more enforceable and easy to figure out if someone has broken this rule.]]> 2018-02-19 18:02:36 UTC https://padlet.com/20cottno/i4971tgg3bzp/wish/233008257 20cottno https://padlet.com/20cottno/i4971tgg3bzp/wish/233009631 It yearned for more trade and business relations between nations. This was brought up because it has been shown the nations that do business together don't go to war with each other. This can easily be done and has no downside]]> 2018-02-19 18:07:34 UTC https://padlet.com/20cottno/i4971tgg3bzp/wish/233009631 20cottno https://padlet.com/20cottno/i4971tgg3bzp/wish/233017421 Military disarmament makes sense logically but if just one nation was to go against it, the whole system would collapse. Also, there are those who believe peace is achieved with arms.  For example, the United States practice many controversial aspects of life; thus making them a huge target but they are not attacked as often as they would be if the weren't a military super power. This point remained just an idea  ]]> 2018-02-19 18:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/20cottno/i4971tgg3bzp/wish/233017421 20cottno https://padlet.com/20cottno/i4971tgg3bzp/wish/233020100 Ending colonization was a good idea but once again idealistic, if one nation went against it, they all would. Also, the practice of racism made even the followers of this hypocritical by not allowing African communities to self-rule and allowing white settlers to take over ]]> 2018-02-19 18:44:53 UTC https://padlet.com/20cottno/i4971tgg3bzp/wish/233020100 20cottno https://padlet.com/20cottno/i4971tgg3bzp/wish/233021124 All deal with Self Determination (End Imperialism, Autonomy to imperialism nations, Has to do with economic competition, As nations seek to control other nations problems (like secret treaties) arise--So let nations control themselves)

The issue with this is self determination a an innate human quality and cannot be stifled. Also it is idealistic, once again, if one nation doesn't follow it, none of them will.]]> 2018-02-19 18:48:23 UTC https://padlet.com/20cottno/i4971tgg3bzp/wish/233021124 20cottno https://padlet.com/20cottno/i4971tgg3bzp/wish/233023817 Formation of the League of Nations (like the United Nations). This would stabilize Europe tying
it together as a more cohesive unit (if one of them was attacked, they all fought together). This is a great idea but it's inability to get military super powers, like the Soviet Union and the United States, made it defenseless against any aggressors. Moreover, the European ideals embedded in the group made it bias on topics such as the invasion of Ethiopia, they did nothing because of their racist views. ]]> 2018-02-19 18:56:24 UTC https://padlet.com/20cottno/i4971tgg3bzp/wish/233023817 20cottno https://padlet.com/20cottno/i4971tgg3bzp/wish/233027355 In conclusion, the 14 points made very little impact since it was so idealistic and focused on the old problems.]]> 2018-02-19 19:07:26 UTC https://padlet.com/20cottno/i4971tgg3bzp/wish/233027355
