Detailed explanation-1: -Wilson’s speech also responded to Vladimir Lenin’s Decree on Peace of November 1917, immediately after the October Revolution in 1917. The speech made by Wilson took many domestic progressive ideas and translated them into foreign policy (free trade, open agreements, democracy and self-determination).
Detailed explanation-2: -In this January 8, 1918, address to Congress, President Woodrow Wilson proposed a 14-point program for world peace. These points were later taken as the basis for peace negotiations at the end of World War I.
Detailed explanation-3: -While Wilson believed all fourteen points were essential to lasting peace, the League of Nations became Wilson’s focus during treaty negotiations. Unfortunately, Wilson’s desire to see the establishment of the League of Nations resulted in many future conflicts.
