Wilson's Fourteen Points

Wilson proposal to make international interaction more peaceful and productive was much easier said than done. Countries just getting out a war of that magnitude were not going to be too willing to cooperate with the people they were just trying to destroy. Most, if not all of Wilson's points could not be achieved without the mutual cooperation of all the powers. During the time period Communism started to gain momentum and the European nations were distrustful of foreign intervention in their countries. Wilson seemed to have to give up all his points so that he could build up the League of Nations. The League of Nations was supposed to do what it could to prevent war but because it was made up of powers that all wanted parts of the same land, it could not be neutral towards the Axis-powers. To achieve world peace Wilson would have had to have the backup and consent of the more powerful nations and because he did not his ideas for creating world peace were not realistic.
