The list summarizes a few points of the Fourteen Points speech gave by President Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924) on January 8, 1918.
The speech was aimed to direct the peace negotiations after World War I. Wilson tried to establish principles that should be followed in order to maintain lasting peace and to repair crimes committed during wartime. He also advised the evacuation of all Russian and Belgium territory; the restoration of all French portions including the Alsace-Lorraine (won by Prussia in 1871 in the Franco-Prussian war); and the reduction of all national armaments, among other things.
