This was a major component of Woodrow Wilson's 'Fourteen Points,' especially since unrestricted submarine warfare was a major component of World War I.

Answer:

freedom of the seas

Step-by-step explanation:

Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points were a set of statements to serve as principles for negotiating peace during World War I.

They stem from a speech on the war aims and peace terms to the US Congress in 1918.

He emphasized the Freedom of the seas, as a key component of peacebuilding: the right of merchant ships to cross oceans freely in international waters without the worry of getting fired.

Wilson also saw this as a way to end trade barriers and foster commerce.

Since then, the principle has been adapted into American foreign policy, as a right of all people to travel without restrictions both in times of war and peace.
