Wilson becomes the moral leader during World War 1. During the war he delivers his 14 points to make sure the country knows that the war is being fought by the Americans for a moral cause and peace for the world. Wilson's 14 points played a big part in helping with peace in foreign countries after the war. Some of the most important points were:
-Freedom of navigation in the seas
-Removal of economic barriers and establishment of equality of trade
-Reduced national armies
-Form a league of nations to avoid further conflict
In the end the Allies did not support the 14 points because they believed that the losing countries should pay for what they did. Wilson had to compromise 13 of his points so he could get his 14th point approved.
