The Fourteen Points were a set of principles for peace proposed by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson in January 1918, aimed at addressing the causes of World War I and preventing future conflicts. Key points included the abolition of secret treaties, freedom of the seas, the reduction of armaments, self-determination for nations, and the establishment of a League of Nations to promote collective security. Wilson's vision emphasized democracy, open diplomacy, and the rights of nations to govern themselves. Although the points influenced the post-war negotiations, not all were adopted in the Treaty of Versailles.
