After the First World War, President Woodrow Wilson drafted the fourteen points that sought to establish a peaceful balance among Europeans. At all times, Wilson defended diplomacy to avoid revenge, new conflicts and also to stimulate peace among European nations.
In this sense, one of the main points was the creation of the League of Nations, which would have the mission of safeguarding the political and territorial autonomy of nations.
For Wilson, it was more important to seal the peace and avoid another war than to point out the punishments for the losers and the compensations of the victors. However, nations did not fully adhere to the 14 points and created the Treaty of Versailles, which imposed severe penalties on Germany.
