Wilson outlined fourteen points that included the end of secret diplomacy, armament reductions, freedom of the seas, and the creation of an international organization with representatives of every nation to avoid any conflict escalation.
But the European allied nations were more interested in retribution than peace and Germany was forced to pay unlimited reparations.
