Read one of Wilson's "Fourteen Points." Think about the challenges facing the peace
process. Which of these problems threatened
Wilson's point?
Germany continued to attack American
shipping on the oceans.
The Allies were already making secret
alliances and plans.
The other heads of state refused to meet with
Wilson.
I. Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at,
after which there shall be no private
international understandings of any kind but
diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and
in the public view.
-Woodrow Wilson
