Answer: self interest

Explanation:

Mr. Lincoln once remarked to a fellow-passenger that all men were triggered by selfishness in doing good. The fellow-passenger was antagonizing this position when they passed over a corduroy bridge which spanned a slough. As they were crossing this bridge, they saw an old sow on the bank which was making a terrible noise because her pigs got into the slough and could drown.

As the old coach was climbing the hill, Mr. Lincoln said “Driver, can’t you stop just a moment?” Mr. Lincoln then jumped out, ran back and then lifted the little pigs out of the mud they were in and placed them on the bank. His companion remarked when he returned that "where does selfishness come in what he just did?

Mr Lincoln said that "he whould have had no peace of mind if he had left that the suffering old sow to be worried about her pigs and helping her was because he wanted peace of mind which was selfishness.

blagie [28]
The main goal to demiliterise Germany was to ensure that she could not hold aggression and threaten the other nations across the border.

Rhineland of Germany was demilitarised as there are other nations nearby, and it is the shortest route to countries like France. It is therefore demilitarized with all troopa removed. This eliminated the potential of Germany launching a surprise attack in aggression, thus fufilling the goal of fourteen points to keep peace across nations.
