Question

The outline for world peace as presented in the Fourteen Points was not carried out as President Wilson had hoped. Think back to what you learned in the unit and write 3–4 sentences to explain why the European nations did not agree with Points 1–5.

Answer 1

Answer: The European nations did not agree with Point 1-5 because they disagreed on freedom of the seas as well as war reparations. The Europeans thought that Points 1-5 did not serve the ends of the other allies such as France and Britain. Europeans thought that they could gain more from war victory than what President Wilson's plan allowed. He also failed to realize victorious European nations wanted to punish Germany above all else. They were imperialists and refused to give up colonies and wanted to take Germany's colonies.
