After World War I, European leaders wanted to punish Germany for decimating the lands of the other European countries as well as for the lives lost. The United States was never under any real threat and the land was not affected.

The 14 points of the Versailles Treaty were NOT President Wilson's 14 points they were created by many countries, mainly France, to punish Germany. Wilson's agenda was the League of Nations.
The French and the British leaders didn't like Wilson's 14 Points.
In 1914, when war broke out among numerous European nations, President Wilson's reaction was very much the same as that of most Americans at the time. In general, Americans considered the European conflict to be outside of American interest; indeed, the war was seen in some sense as "beneath" America dignity, and America, it was thought, will quite rightly stay out of the sad affair.
Woodrow Wilson was dissatisfied with the Treaty of Versailles. He was an idealist and wanted to build a better and more powerful world from the ruins of the first world war. He agreed with the fact that Germany should be punished for what they did, but to an extent. He was worried that if they treated Germany too harshly, then Germany would someday get revenge. Woodrow Wilson believed that all nations should agree and cooperate to achieven world peace, which is why he set the league of nations up and wrote the 14 points.
A big reason European leaders opposed most of president Wilson's peace plans is that those plans didn't require Germany to pay for World War I damage. European countries felt that Germany should be punished for the harm caused to them.

The US wanted to remain in isolation because President Wilson thought that the European issues should stay within the European countries. Wilson figured that if the countries dealt with their own issues then a world war wouldn't happen. Unfortunately, President Wilson couldn't keep the US out of the European issues.
