Niccolo Machiavelli

Machiavelli was a diplomat in Florence who tried to answer how could a ruler guarantee that he would stay in power by writing The Prince in 1513. Machiavelli claimed that people were greedy and self-centered. He argued that rulers should not be good, and that rulers should do whatever is necessary to keep power and protect their city, including killing and lying. Today, when someone is called a Machiavellian, it means that they are acting tricky and not thinking about the good.

end of secret treaties, open trade between countries, and open seas.

The goal of these points was to prevent future wars. Wilson introduced these to foreign leaders at the meeting at Versailles and his efforts ultimately lead to the creation of the League of Nations, an international organization meant to keep the peace between conflicting nations."
