Wilson's Fourteen Points
January 8, 1918
In a speech to Congress, Woodrow Wilson laid out fourteen principles for a just peace: open diplomacy, self-determination of peoples, free seas, a League of Nations. Idealistic and wildly popular, especially in the colonized world, the points would be largely abandoned at Versailles a year later. Wilson would pay with his health.
