The Fourteen Points is the speech that the 48th president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, addressed at a joint session of the United States congress on January 8, 1918.
His speech is made up of his idealistic perspective for establishing the world in which peace, justice, and fair dealing are assured.
I summarize the fourteen points Wilson delivered.
1. Open diplomacy
There should be no closed and secret diplomacy among nations. Diplomacy need to be
open and frankly proceeded.
2. Freedom of the seas
There should freedom of navigation on the seas outside territorial waters.
3. Removal of economic barriers
The world should establish an equality of trade conditions.
4. Reduction of armaments
Weapons or such kind of military things need to be reduces to the lowest points.
5. Adjustment of colonial claims
All colonial opinions should be regarded as the same value as governing nations.
