The correct answer is "Wilson believed that the United States is determined to protect democratic ideals".
Regardless of who would win or which country's authority prevails after a battle, what Wilson is talking about is ideals. What the American people should carry nearest to their heart isn't war either but the determination to protect democracy at whatever cost.
He recognizes it's dreadful to disrupt the lives of the peaceful population bringing them into the horrors of war, but to him, the right to democracy is more precious than peace itself.
Hope this helps out!
