The 14 Points for Peace was a proposal by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson to end World War I and provide a framework for peace negotiations. It included principles like self-determination of nations, freedom of the seas, and the establishment of a League of Nations.
Self-Determination: This refers to the right of people in a particular place to choose the form of government they will have without interference from other nations.
Freedom of Seas: This principle asserts that all nations should have equal rights to travel or trade on international waters during times of peace.
Armistice: An agreement made by opposing sides in a war to stop fighting for a certain time; essentially, it's like pressing pause on conflict.
