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.
