What were the Fourteen Points

The Fourteen Points were policies designed to end World War I and provide peace in Europe. They were presented in a speech by US President Woodrow Wilson on January 8, 1918. They included recommendations for autonomy of Austria-Hungary, Poland, and the Balkan states. He also suggested arms limitations, and a world cooperative body that would come to be known as the League of Nations.

Due to his belief in the need for the League of Nations, Wilson was forced to compromise, leading to war reparations against Germany being included in the Treaty of Versailles. Conversely, the US Senate would neither ratify the Treaty nor vote to join the League.
