Wilson's Fourteen Points- My Summary

Wilson’s Fourteen Points

       General outline for international peace.
       Wilson hoped that the world could “be made safe for every peace-loving nation which, like our own, wishes to live its own life, determine its own institutions, be assured of justice and fair dealing by the other peoples of the world as against force and selfish aggression.”
       1) open, public alliances
       2) freedom of the seas
       3) free, open trade (no restrictions)
       4) reduction of weapons (ensure domestic security)
       5) self-determination (power to make decisions about one’s own future- directed toward ethnic groups under colonial power specifically)
       6) treating Russia as an independent nation
       7) Belgium re-built, free and sovereign
       8) France evacuated and restore Alsace-Lorraine to France
       9) Italian borders re-arranged to include ethnic Italians (located in former Austria-Hungary)
       10) people of Austria-Hungary should have opportunity of self-determination
       11) Romania, Serbia, and Montenegro – all free (economic, political) w/self-determination for ethnic groups
       12) self-determination for Turkish people and other nationalities previously under Ottoman Empire; Dardanelles Strait open, free for all
       13) independent, sovereign Poland

       14) international organization committed to peace, political independence, and territorial freedom (proposed League of Nations)
