  • The USA had not suffered much during the war as they had joined in 1917, and there was no fighting in their own country.
  • At the Treaty of Versailles, Wilson proposed the Fourteen Points, which he believed would end the war fairly and prevent another war in the future.
  • He didn’t want to punish Germany that harshly as he feared that that would lead to the whole thing repeating again.
  • Wilson wanted to create an international organisation that would prevent war between nations.
  • Wilson wanted democracy in defeated countries
  • Some of his 14 points were:
    The creation of the League of Nations, the return of Alsace-Lorraine region and all French territories, equal trade conditions and self-determination (Independence to Eastern countries and other colonies)
