Restore dignity and independence to those countries. Wilson really didn’t want to join WWI but had to after the Zimmerman Telegram, which enraged Americans. However, Wilson’s pacifist side shone through, and he said that we were fighting for world peace. Hope that helps!

D. Restore dignity and independence to those countries.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the United States joined World War I on the side of the Allies, they didn't necessarily want to. President Woodrow Wilson was a pacifist, he strived for peace. He was against having the United States join a war, as he cared for his people and the country. After the Zimmerman Telegram, Wilson was left with no choice but to declare war.

Even during the war, Woodrow Wilson's peaceful approaches shined through. His main goal was to create peace, not only for the United States but for everyone. He wrote the Fourteen Points, which was an outline for peace on all sides.

The Fourteen Points were goals that were striving towards peace. Woodrow Wilson wanted German troops to be removed from lands like Belgium, so they could become independent and restore dignity to those countries. Not all people agreed with Wilson's approach, many thought Germany should have harsher repercussions after the war.
