The Fourteen Points was a peace plan proposed by Woodrow Wilson. The point of this plan was to stop the humiliation of and economic damage to  the losers of World war I. In his plan, every person in every nation would have a say in their future by voting. His plan also called for freedom of the seas and the formation of a League of Nations. When the peace treaty was singed most of Wilson's fourteen points were taken out, but his plan for League of Nations survived.

# The evacuation of all Russian territory and such a settlement of all questions affecting Russia as will secure the best and freest cooperation of the other nations of the world in obtaining for her an unhampered and unembarrassed opportunity for the independent determination of her own political development and national policy, and assure her of a sincere welcome into the society of free nations under institutions of her own choosing; and, more than a welcome, assistance also of every kind that she may need and may herself desire. The treatment accorded Russia by her sister nations in the months to come will be the acid test of their good will, of their comprehension of her needs as distinguished from their own interests, and of their intelligent and unselfish sympathy.

# Belgium, the whole world will agree, must be evacuated and restored, without any attempt to limit the sovereignty which she enjoys in common with all other free nations. No other single act will serve as this will serve to restore confidence among the nations in the laws which they have themselves set and determined for the government of their relations with one another. Without this healing act the whole structure and validity of international law is forever impaired.
