Wilson's Fourteen Points

1. I think this cartoon is trying to show that all of America's European allies had the U.S's arms tied and pretty much forced us into joining the war.

2.
Point 1- American citizens would be able to know what was going on in other countries' government.
Point 2- Reduce the amount of casualties due to naval warfare in coming wars. Also allow neutral/isolated countries to continue trade as usual without hurting economy.
Point 3- Allow countries like America to practice fair trade with allying countries.
Point 4- Countries will only be able to have a certain amount of armaments so as not to cause militarism.
Point 5- An impartial group will determine whether a country will be able to set up a colony and for what reasons.
Point 6- Allow Russia to be allied with the League of Nations.
Point 7- Help out Belgium to fix their government and economy.
Point 8- Help France to fix what happened between them and Prussia.
Point 9- Determine Italy's new political boundaries.
Point 10- Help out Austria-Hungary to create better government and economy.
Point 11- Allow many countries like Romania, Serbia and Montenegro the same rule of the waves as we currently have.
Point 12- We have to allow all the countries under Turkey's rule necessary human rights and allow many of the straits to have passage for commerce ships.
Point 13- Erect an independant polish state that will not be governed by Germany.
Point 14- Create a force of nations to work as a whole to fix things.
