LAD #31 President Wilson’s 14 Points

At the end of the Great War, President Wilson created a plan to try to maintain peace and continue the idea of it being the “war to end all wars.” The 14 point plan consisted of 14 points that would help guide the country after the war. Some of the points included, no secret treaties, freedom of the seas and the formation of the League of Nations. The goal of this group was to help create peace in each country and prevent future problems. The allies wanted to put more blame on the Germans and punish them, which his points did not do. As a result, the allies did not fully support the plan causing it to be unsuccessful.

Pictures: I chose a picture of Woodrow Wilson who created the 14 points and the Dawes Plan because the 14 points and the Great War helped lead to the creation of the plan. The Dawes Plan would be an American Sponsored arrangement for rescheduling German reparations payments. The allies were not happy with Germany and felt that they were to blame, so by having them pay for reparations would alleviate some of the frustration.
