Fourteen Points
Fourteen Points
Outline of proposals by Pres. Woodrow Wilson for a post–World War I peace settlement, given in an address in January 1918. The emphasis on “open covenants of peace, openly arrived at” was proposed to change the usual method of secret diplomacy practiced in Europe. Other points outlined territorial adjustments following the war. The last point called for “a general association of nations,” which presaged the League of Nations.
