Detailed explanation-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.
Detailed explanation-2: -But President Woodrow Wilson’s war aims went beyond the defense of U.S. maritime interests. In his War Message to Congress, President Wilson declared that the U.S. objective was “to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the life of the world.”
Detailed explanation-3: -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.”
