USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Wilson desired to create a system that would keep future wars from happening, as well as promoting a U.S. vision of democracy and peace. He believed that the best way to accomplish this goal was through the creation of an international organization called the League of Nations.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Big Four One of Wilson’s main objectives was to try to keep the European Allies from “getting even” with Germany. Lloyd George and Clemenceau both wanted to blame Germany for the war, and they wanted to create a peace that ensured Germany’s inability to ever wage war again.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wilson did not think that Germany should be punished for the war, and therefore he did not want to treaty on Germany to be too harsh. It was a worry of Wilson that if Germany was treated particularly badly then it could provoke another war.

Detailed explanation-4: -Wilson thought that the United States alone could shape an effective peace settlement because he believed that the combatants were politically and morally bankrupt. Wilson felt that American intervention in 1917 would ensure that the United States would play a decisive role and dominate the postwar peace conference.
