Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points

Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points were unrealistic due to their overwhelming idealism. Wilson's Fourteen Points appealed to the losing side, the Axis, much more than the winning side, the Allies. Since the Fourteen Points seemed much more attractive to those who didn't have power in the situation, they could not work. Had there been an attempt to implement the Fourteen Points after any war, they simply would not have worked due to the fact that they are kinder to the losing side. The winning side, specifically France and Britain, will always hold great discontempt towards those they fought, in this case Germany, especially when their lands are ravaged by their opponents. Due to their lenience on the defeated nations, Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points are entirely unrealistic.
