Wilson's Fourteen Points

1, Which of the Fourteen Points do you feel is the most important? Why? I believe the article on the League of Nations was most important because it eventually had the most impact than the other articles and drastically changed Europe. The League of Nations has done many things such as attempting to improve health care and also attempted to reduce armaments etc.

2, In what order would you rank the Fourteen Points, from most important to least important? I think the most important would be the generally on how to deal with Germany, and then the creating of League of Nations would be second most important. The third would be the National Self-Determination ideology and the rest is really generally on the same level of importance.

3, What was Woodrow Wilson trying to accomplish with the Fourteen Points? He was trying to make the world in the future peaceful and make all countries equal, that way no one shall be provoked or a country would provoke another. He did not want Germany to pay the ultimate price because he knew that in order for the world to be peaceful and that Germany would not attack anyone is to treat them equally.

4, What influence did the Fourteen Points have on the remainder of the war? what effect did the Fourteen Points have on the Versailles peace talks?

5, How realistic were Wilson's ideas? explain. It was actually very realistic and the points technically could be used. The only problem was back then humanity thought that the ideas were not going to work as humanity can not cooperate forever and that the idea of constant peace is not ideal. It actually is but it is only because the human race were born brutal and people easily resort to fighting. While the points are realistic, it is doubted if even present day people would accept it and manage it.

6, How idealic were Wilson's ideas? explain. It actually really isn't. The ideas could work if everyone can cooperate with it and stick with it. Problem is the people did not believe in some of the points, such as having constant peace because it is not possible to stop anger and hate between people. That is about the only thing close to being idealic

7, Do the Fourteen Points address the cause of WWI? If yes, which one? Yes it does. The real cause of World War 1 is truly because all the countries in Europe had tension and were simply building armies because they knew they were going to have to fight one day. The League of Nation point stated that countries should join together in this League and be as one. The League of Nations emphasized on peace and the entire point of it was so Europe could be in a state of consent.

8, What current day issues can be traced back to the flawed peace of versailles? Would the full adoption of Woodrow Wilson's fourteen points have prevented these problems?
