When: Jan 8, 1918

What: President Woodrow Wilson outlined the Fourteen Points in a speech on war aims and peace terms to the Congress.

Why significant: To achieve lasting peace in Europe, in his speech President Woodrow Wilson called for

  • the abolition of secret treaties

  • unselfish peace terms from the victorious Allies

  • the restoration of territories conquered during the war

  • the establishment of a postwar world body to resolve future conflict

  • a reduction in armaments

  • an adjustment in colonial claims in the interests of both native peoples and colonists, and the right to national self-determination

  • freedom of the seas

  • the removal of economic barriers between nations

The speech was distributed to Germany and Austria-Hungary and contributed significantly to their agreeing to an armistice in November 1918. In 1920, Woodrow Wilson was awarded the Nobel Peace Price for his peace-making efforts.
