The correct answer is A) He hoped to create a world organization where countries could gather and resolve their quarrels peacefully.

Wilson's idea of a League of Nations was first expressed in his 14 Points speech. This speech outlined what he hoped the world would look like after World War I. During this era, World War I was supposed to be the "war to end all wars." Due to the numerous technological advancements, the amount of casualties were incredible. With this in mind, Wilson wanted to create an organization that would prevent another war like this from happening again. He felt that this organization would stop future wars from occurring and would provide an outlet for nations to discuss international problems.
