After world war one, the nations had to work together in order to find stability. Wilson believed that if all the Nations came together they would be able to rebuild their economy and create piece. President Woodrow Wilson decided to write 14 points, and just like the name states, they were 14 points which discussed ways in order to make the world safer for everyone, examples of the points were: “Freedom of the seas”, “no secret organization”, wilson also wanted the world to become more progressive and be open to new ideas. The 14 Points also discussed punishment for the german, such as demilitarization of rhineland, and they would have to pay $33 billion dollars to France and Britain. After Wilson had written these “14 points”, the points were discussed in Paris in 1919 at the Paris peace conference. At the conference it was decided that Germany would have to be punished, Italy would gain Land and both France and Britain would gain power over Germany. Overall, The fourteen Points were successful to a certain extent, the rules were then broken by Germany at the start of WWII.
I like how you use quotes in your paragraph to cite specific examples instead of just paraphrasing or summarizing. I think that it makes it a more concise and specific paragraph.
ReplyDeleteGeneralizing the ideas of the 14 points to quickly get them out is a very effective way. This way, the reader isn't bored right off the bat since this is a blog. Any how, I believe that the 14 points were a very important turning point for American society as it was when Wilson decided to make more radical changes. I'm going to full a Mr. Stewart and say that this couldn't possibly come up again on our Semester 2 final.
