Presentation transcript:

Wilson’s Foreign Policy Wilson was obsessed with establishing a new world order. He believed the US should promote democracy around the world in order to insure peace. Believed that all nations could work together to end war AND, a country’s foreign policy decisions should be based on honesty and unselfishness… Events around the world, however, kept him from ever realizing his dream.

WILSON'S 14 POINTS President Wilson’s 14 Points were his ideas to “end all war”. These are a summary of his ideas for world peace. Are they realistic or based on idealism? Open diplomacy or no secret treaties. Freedom of the seas. Free trade. Countries reduce colonies and weapons International control of colonies….. Formation of new countries with self-government as a goal. (Democracy) MOST IMPORTANT: A “league of nations” to guarantee peace among nations. (Collective Security) 14 pts

Countries were convinced that his 14 points could “end all war”. TREATY OF VERSAILLES big4 When President Wilson went to Paris, France, he was welcomed like he was a God. Countries were convinced that his 14 points could “end all war”. But, the hatred of the Allied nations led to the Treaty of Versailles to be a “Treaty of Revenge” against Germany.

Wilson Forced to Compromise TREATY OF VERSAILLES big4 BIG FOUR Wilson Forced to Compromise Although Wilson claimed that he was not interested in the spoils, or rewards, of war, his Allied colleagues were interested in making the Central Powers pay for war damages. Wilson was forced to compromise on his 14 Points so he could negotiate for the League of Nations. David Lloyd George Vitorio Orlando George Clemeneau Woodrow Wilson Great Britain Italy France U.S.
