President Wilson was very disappointed that the Treaty of Versailles ended up having little similarity to the 14 Points he had proposed. Wilson agreed with the need for a League of Nations, to work together to insure future peace. But he also wanted such policies as Open Diplomacy (no secret treaties between the various powers; Freedom of Navigation (the seas should be free and open in both peace and war); Free Trade (removing the barriers to trade between countries, such as custom duties); Multilateral Disarmament (all countries should reduce their armed forces to the lowest possible levels); and he also believed that all people in the European colonies should have a say in their future.

But the other major nations involved in the negotiations wanted the focus to be on severe punishment for Germany and the other defeated nations. The Treaty of Versailles, while establishing a League of Nations, did in fact put harsh penalties onto Germany, both financial penalties and taking away some of its land. And where Wilson had wanted the defeated nations to have a say in their future, the Treaty of Versailles did not encourage such an attitude: in fact, it led to other treaties that took away land from the defeated nations and put some of them (like Turkey) under control of the League of Nations, whether they wanted to be or not.
