d) World Peace

Woodrow Wilson’s Fourteen Points, proposed in 1918 towards the end of World War I, had the main goal of establishing a framework for world peace. These points outlined Wilson’s vision for a post-war world, emphasizing principles such as self-determination, freedom of the seas, and the establishment of a League of Nations to address international disputes peacefully. Wilson’s proposal sought to reshape international relations through cooperation and dialogue, promoting a new world order based on democratic values and collective security. The Fourteen Points reflected idealism in foreign policy, aiming to prevent future conflicts and laying the groundwork for a more interconnected and peaceful international community.
