LAD #25-Wilson's 14 Point Plan

With WWI still raging on, President Wilson was looking ahead to the future and life after the war. He developed this plan to have some sort of idea about what he wanted out of the war and to help better the lives of Americans. Wilson called for equal trade, freedom of the seas and his ideas about how the European nations should be rebuilt after war. The ideas relating the United States were accepted, but other nations were very against Wilson's imput on their own nations. He also wanted to create a society of nations to help diplomatically and nonviolently solve disputes so that small problems would not blow up into bloody revolutions. Wilson felt that he was taking a step forward, but his suggestions were angering many because there was no consent with other nations. He hoped to provide a method for easy peace, but thats not exactly what would end up happening.
