President Woodrow Wilson believed that if the victorious nations imposed harsh peace terms on the defeated nations after World War I, it would lead to future resentments and conflicts. He advocated for a more lenient and just approach, emphasizing self-determination, open diplomacy, and the establishment of the League of Nations to promote lasting peace. Wilson feared that punitive measures would sow the seeds of future wars, undermining the very stability and reconciliation that the peace sought to achieve.
