Woodrow Wilson Fourteen Points Explained

The Fourteen Points were a 1918 peace plan Woodrow Wilson presented to Congress as a basis for ending World War I. They fall into a few clear groups: open diplomacy, national self-determination, territorial adjustments in Europe, and a League of Nations. Mapping them by theme makes it easier to see how the points connect.

  • Open diplomacy: public treaties and an end to secret agreements
  • Territorial changes: adjusted borders, including Belgium and Alsace-Lorraine
  • Self-determination: national claims for peoples in Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire
  • League of Nations: the final point, proposing a collective security body
