Wilson's Fourteen Points
1. Cartoon Interpretation
I believe the Editorial Cartoon is trying to say that other nations such as: England, Japan, European Nations, and other foreign nations, want the U.S.A. to enter the war and fight it on their side. In the cartoon the countries are pulling on the U.S.A. trying to get them to side with their country. The League of Nations is on the ropes because this is what eventually settled the conflict between the countries, along with The Versailles Treaty.
2. Wilson's 14 Points
1. This point would help America and the world accomplish the peace Wilson envisioned in the following decade because it is saying that diplomacy and international problems will always be told to the public view. This way confusion is not spread around the country and world.
2. This would help also because it says freedom to travel over seas, whether in war or not. The exception is if international forces close it. This would help keep people happy because they can travel outside of territorial waters.
3. This is the removal of economic barriers so trade can happen more efficiently between countries and for nations to consent to peace and maintain it. This helps bring countries and nations closer together.
4. This states that national military or naval forces be reduced to the lowest amount possible, while still having domestic safety, which is to keep a country safe. This way countries are not afraid of other countries due to a large military.
5. Point 5 states that colonial claims have an equal weight on decisions as do the government that controls them under the topic of sovereignty. By doing this, it helps keep countries from controlling other countries and or nations.
6. During the evacuation of Russian territory, other countries need to provide her with an unembarrassed opportunity for independent determination of Russia's own political development. Also, to welcome her, and assist her into the society of free nations. Lastly, for her sister countries to have unselfish sympathy. This helps bring countries together because it makes them be there for one another in time of need and help.
7. Belgium will be evacuated and then put back together. This will help restore confidence between the nations in the laws that they have set determining the government of their relationships with each other. International law is impaired if this is not fixed.
8. French territory should be restored and the bad things that Prussia did to France regarding Alsace-Lorraine, should be fixed. This will restore peace between them and the world, which was not fixed for over fifty years.
9. Changes for the frontiers of Italy should be made, but still having nationality. This will make things fair and will help make other countries happy with them.
10. The people of Austria-Hungary should get self-contained development. That way they can develop without having interference from other countries and refrain from having war break outs among them.
11. Rumania, Serbia, and Montenegro should be restored in some places and Serbia gets free access the the sea. Also, the Balkan States relationships should be based on allegiance and nationality. This will help the conflicts of these countries come to an end.
12. The Turkish portions of the Ottoman Empire should have a good sovereignty and other nations under their rule should get to develop on their own. Lastly, the Darrdanelles should have free shipping passage ways to all countries. This make peace between them because they each get something that they have wanted.
13. An independent Polish state should have free access to the sea and their political and economic independence should be guaranteed internationally. This helps make the Polish people happy and therefore, this settles more world disputes.
14. An association should be made between nations so that the purpose of agreeing guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity be made to everyone. This will make many nations happy and insure peace throughout nations and the world.
