President Woodrow Wilson was forced to compromise nearly all of his Fourteen Points mainly because British Prime Minister, Lloyd George and French Premier, Georges Clemenceau wanted blood rather than peace. His proposal to share waters was flat-out refused by George, who would not give up Britain's naval advantage. although the Wilson plan called for shared responsibility, the Treaty of Versailles placed the blame squarely on Germany's shoulders, and demanded it pay the cost of the entire war. The one point that remained unchallenged was the creation of a body of nations for security purposes.

What major point of U.S. President Wilson's Fourteen Points for Peace pushed for a withdrawal from colonialism?

One major point of President Wilson's Fourteen Points for Peace that advocated for a withdrawal from colonialism was the principle of self-determination. Wilson emphasized that peoples should have the right to choose their own political status and govern themselves, which challenged imperialistic practices and colonial rule. This idea encouraged nations under colonial domination to seek independence and autonomy, promoting the notion that all nations should be free to determine their own destiny.


Why did Wilson believe the fourteen points should be the basis for peace talks?

He believed secret agreements and violations of right had occurred which touched us to the quick and made the life of our own people impossible unless they were corrected and the world secure once for all against their recurrence. He believed the 14 points would fix that.


Why did the US negotiate separate treaties after World War 1?

The United States did not ratify the Treaty of Versailles, therefore, a separate treaty between Germany and the United States was needed. The treaty brought the United States in a closer agreement, to the point where the United States actually assisted the Weimar Republic in meeting some of its obligations.


What was the central point of the dred Scott decison?

The central point of the Dred Scott decision, delivered by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1857, was that African Americans, whether free or enslaved, could not be considered American citizens and therefore had no legal standing to sue in federal court. The Court also ruled that Congress lacked the authority to prohibit slavery in the territories, effectively invalidating the Missouri Compromise. This decision intensified sectional tensions and contributed to the onset of the Civil War.
