The historical figure known for the "Fourteen Points" is Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States. In January 1918, Wilson outlined his vision for a post-World War I peace settlement, which aimed at promoting self-determination, free trade, and the establishment of the League of Nations to foster international cooperation and prevent future conflicts. The Fourteen Points emphasized the need for transparent diplomacy, disarmament, and colonial revision, in stark contrast to the punitive measures suggested by other Allied leaders against the Central Powers. Wilson's proposals aimed to address the causes of the war and create a more just and peaceful world order.
