Detailed explanation-1: -Wilson got self-determination for the peoples of Eastern Europe, and a League of Nations, but he hated the Treaty because few of his ‘Fourteen Points’ got into the Treaty.
Detailed explanation-2: -Wilson called for an end to secret diplomacy, a reduction of armaments, and freedom of the seas. He claimed that reductions to trade barriers, fair adjustment of colonies, and respect for national self-determination would reduce economic and nationalist sentiments that lead to war.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: President Wilson’s Fourteen Points were not incorporated into the Treaty of Versailles because the United States Congress refused to ratify the treaty. For the Fourteen Points to truly come to fruition, European nations needed the United States’ involvement.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Senate has, at times, rejected treaties when its members felt their concerns were not adequately addressed. In 1919 the Senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles, which formally ended World War I, in part because President Woodrow Wilson had failed to take senators’ objections to the agreement into consideration.
