PART III Document Analysis: Woodrow Wilsons 14 Point Speech
Read the excerpt from President Wilson speech and answer the questions below.
We entered this war because violations of right had occurred which touched us to the quick and made the life
of our own people impossible unless they were corrected and the world secure once for all against their
recurrence. What we demand in this war, therefore, is nothing peculiar to ourselves. It is that the world be
made fit and safe to live in; and particularly that it be made safe for every peace-loving nation which, like our
own, wishes to live its own life, determine its own institutions, be assured of justice and fair dealing by the other
peoples of the world as against force and selfish aggression.
XIV. A general association of nations must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of
affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike.
1. According to Wilson why did the United States enter WWI?
2. What international organization is point XIV attempting to establish?
