AP Success - AP US History: Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points

President Woodrow Wilson had many ideas to prevent another conflict like World War I.
We entered this war because violations of right had occurred... What we demand in this war... is that the world be made fit and safe to live in... for every peace-loving nation... to live its own life, determine its own institutions, be assured of justice and fair dealing... 
I. Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at... diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view.

II. Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas... except as the seas may be closed... by international action for the enforcement of international covenants.
III. The removal... of all economic barriers and the establishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations consenting to the peace...
IV. Adequate guarantees given and taken that national armaments will be reduced to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety.

V. A free, open-minded, and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims... the interests of the populations concerned must have equal weight with the equitable claims of the government...
