Answer the following questions in your wiki - Start at "It will be our wish..." (10th paragraph)
How does the introduction relate to the causes of WWI? It discusses how the world must be made safe and fit to live in; the techonology and weapons that were created and used, like Europe trying to invade on Belgium, made the world a dangerous place. Also, it discusses that nationalism exists in each nation; when the strong nationalistic views in each country led to vicsious behavior in WWI.
What does Wilson suggest was the reason for American entry into the war?"In regard to these essential rectifications of wrong and assertions of right we feel ourselves to be intimate partners of all the governments and peoples associated together against the Imperialists. We cannot be separated in interest or divided in purpose. We stand together until the end. For such arrangements and covenants we are willing to fight and to continue to fight until they are achieved; but only because we wish the right to prevail and desire a just and stable peace such as can be secured only by removing the chief provocations to war, which this program does remove." President Wilson discusses that the US is willing to fight for peace and serenity existence in the world, not solely the United States.
How would you summarize the main objectives of the 14 Points? The 14 points ultimately desires peace, organization, cooperation, and freedom amongst all nations across the world. It calls for freedom to navigate seas, territories to be restored and secured, international understanding of one another, removal of economic barriors as well.
How might the colonies of Britain and France react to the 14 points? France may react joyfully to the 14 Points because it suggests that their territory be freed, restored, and the wrong done unto them peace should be settled upon and made secure for all of them.
