After World War I, President Wilson gave a speech on war aims and peace to Congress. His fourteen points outlined ways to remain peaceful with other nations and acted as a plan to try to avoid another world war.
The points included ideas such as:
-Open navigation in all seas during war and peace times
-The removal of economic barriers and having equality in trade between all nations
-No private international understandings of any kind
He then shifted his focus onto the nations of Europe and stated ideas such as:
-The freedom of French territory
-The evacuation of Russian territory
-Readjustment of the frontiers of Italy
-An independent Polish state
He stated that these changes would help to ensure peace between all nations and would help the world to thrive.
