         <description><![CDATA[<div>For reference and background, this is the full list of Woodrow Wilson's 14 points:<br>(In parenthesis is what I will be saying about each point)<br><br><strong>I.</strong> Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private international understandings of any kind but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view.&nbsp;<br>(Explains public negotiations with more secret agreements)&nbsp;</div><div><strong>II.</strong> Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas, outside territorial waters, alike in peace and in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part by international action for the enforcement of international covenants.&nbsp;<br>(Saying how the seas should be free to all and Countries should stay out of claiming waters)</div><div><strong>III.</strong> The removal, so far as possible, of all economic barriers and the establishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations consenting to the peace and associating themselves for its maintenance.<br>(Free trade between all countries which will improve everyone economy, which it has)</div><div><strong>IV.</strong> Adequate guarantees given and taken that national armaments will be reduced to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety.<br>(Regulation on weapons to guarantee the safety of people, U.S. monitors countries all the time to make sure what they are making or what weapons they have such as North Korea and Syria)</div><div><strong>V.</strong> A free, open-minded, and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims, based upon a strict observance of the principle that in determining all such questions of sovereignty the interests of the populations concerned must have equal weight with the equitable claims of the government whose title is to be determined.<br>(Fair decisions on claimed lands and colonial lands)</div><div><strong>VI.</strong> The evacuation of all Russian territory and such a settlement of all questions affecting Russia as will secure the best and freest cooperation of the other nations of the world in obtaining for her an unhampered and unembarrassed opportunity for the independent determination of her own political development and national policy and assure her of a sincere welcome into the society of free nations under institutions of her own choosing; and, more than a welcome, assistance also of every kind that she may need and may herself desire. The treatment accorded Russia by her sister nations in the months to come will be the acid test of their good will, of their comprehension of her needs as distinguished from their own interests, and of their intelligent and unselfish sympathy.<br>(Restoration of Russia territories and they can have the freedom to develop their own political system)</div><div><strong>VII.</strong> Belgium, the whole world will agree, must be evacuated and restored, without any attempt to limit the sovereignty which she enjoys in common with all other free nations. No other single act will serve as this will serve to restore confidence among the nations in the laws which they have themselves set and determined for the government of their relations with one another. Without this healing act the whole structure and validity of international law is forever impaired.<br>(Preserve Belgium as it should stay independent after the war too)</div><div><strong>VIII.</strong> All French territory should be freed and the invaded portions restored, and the wrong done to France by Prussia in 1871 in the matter of Alsace-Lorraine, which has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly fifty years, should be righted, in order that peace may once more be made secure in the interest of all.<br>(France to be fully liberated)</div><div><strong>IX.</strong> A readjustment of the frontiers of Italy should be effected along clearly recognizable lines of nationality.<br>(Lines be established for Italy and all Italian people should be allowed to live inside these lines)</div><div><strong>X.</strong> The peoples of Austria-Hungary, whose place among the nations we wish to see safeguarded and assured, should be accorded the freest opportunity to autonomous development.<br>(Self determination for all people in Austria-Hungary)</div><div><strong>XI.</strong> Rumania, Serbia, and Montenegro should be evacuated; occupied territories restored; Serbia accorded free and secure access to the sea; and the relations of the several Balkan states to one another determined by friendly counsel along historically established lines of allegiance and nationality; and international guarantees of the political and economic independence and territorial integrity of the several Balkan states should be entered into.<br>(Independence for Balkan states)</div><div><strong>XII.</strong> The turkish portion of the present Ottoman Empire should be assured a secure sovereignty, but the other nationalities which are now under Turkish rule should be assured an undoubted security of life and an absolutely unmolested opportunity of autonomous development, and the Dardanelles should be permanently opened as a free passage to the ships and commerce of all nations under international guarantees.<br>(Free Turkish Rule)</div><div><strong>XIII.</strong> An independent Polish state should be erected which should include the territories inhabited by indisputably Polish populations, which should be assured a free and secure access to the sea, and whose political and economic independence and territorial integrity should be guaranteed by international covenant.<br>(Independent rule for Turkish nation)</div><div><strong>XIV.</strong> A general association of nations must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike.<br>(League of Nations to be formed)<br><br><br><br>*(Overall) These points heavily influenced the Treaty of Versailles and how we would interact and handle diplomatic other Countries after the War. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Wilson hoped the end of the War would bring a "just and secure peace"&nbsp; and not "a new balance of power." Wilson heavily advocated the ideal of peace. Wilson proposed in his fourteenth point of something that would become the League of Nations to guarantee the “political independence and territorial integrity [of] great and small states alike." Wilson also used these fourteen points to end the war with the Treaty of Versailles.Overall, Wilson's fourteen points stands as one of the most powerful expression of the idealist strain in United States diplomacy </div>]]></description>
