LAD 29: Wilson's 14 Points
The Fourteen Points was Wilson's plan for world peace. After World War I he wanted every country in the world to be peaceful with each other. The points included demilitarising of all nations, no secret alliances, and his brain child, the League of Nations. He did not want to punish the Germans or any other Central powers, he merely wanted peace. He saw how much the south hated the north after reconstruction and did not want that type of relationship with Germany and Russia. Wilson wants someone to take control of the world and keep peace; he wants the United States to be the world peacekeeper. Yet the senate and people disagreed with him leading to much controversy surrounding the Fourteen Points.
