Concept note-1: -Wilson also made proposals that would ensure world peace in the future. For example, he proposed the removal of economic barriers between nations, the promise of “self-determination” for oppressed minorities, and a world organization that would provide a system of collective security for all nations.

Concept note-2: -Woodrow Wilson’s plan to prevent future wars was to bring together all the nations in a single organization called the ‘’League of Nations”. Wilson hoped that by changing from the traditional system of alliances to one of cooperative development, nations could solve their problems without resorting to warfare.

Concept note-3: -Most important for Wilson, the League would guarantee the territorial integrity and political independence of member states, authorize the League to take “any action…to safeguard the peace, ” establish procedures for arbitration, and create the mechanisms for economic and military sanctions.

Concept note-4: -By establishing a bond of solidarity between Member States, the League is considered the first attempt to build a system of collective security. This principle relied on a simple idea: an aggressor against any Member State should be considered an aggressor against all the other Member States.

Concept note-5: -Woodrow Wilson, a leader of the Progressive Movement, was the 28th President of the United States (1913-1921). After a policy of neutrality at the outbreak of World War I, Wilson led America into war in order to “make the world safe for democracy.”
