President Wilson created the fourteen points in order to preserve peace in the post war world. Wilson placed a great amount of emphasis on these points, fully believing in their power to transform the global community into harmonious nations. Wilson begins by explaining just what the United States wishes to gain out of these peace talks. He then discusses each of his fourteen points that would ensure the safety of peace in the world. Some of these points include freedom of the seas, evacuation of troops from various areas, adjustment of different statehoods, and most importantly his fourteenth point. After Wilson issued his fourteen points, it became clear that the point he held most dear was the fourteenth or the creation of a league of nations. This league of nations would be a governmental body based upon the idea of diplomacy over destruction. President Wilson felt positive that a treaty could fix a great deal of the problems that had caused World War One to occur in the first place.
