4. Read the 14 Points points by Woodrow Wilson found here: []

5. Answer the following questions in your wiki - Start at "It will be our wish..." (10th paragraph)

The introduction states that in order to create peace after the war, requirements need to be met. When Wilson says "... and permit henceforth no secret understandings of any kind" he is referring that there will no longer be any secret agreements among nations, which was one of the main causes of WWI in the first place.
 * How does the introduction relate to the causes of WWI?

American entry into the war was justified because of their desire to live in a peaceful world. In order for justice to be done to them, they would also have to be just to others which was what they were doing by entering the war.
 * What does Wilson suggest was the reason for American entry into the war?

The 14 points main objectives are to declare freedom and equality to all nations, in the sense that there will be no secret agreements, or restriction on the sea even in times of trade. Also to restore the way nations were before the war, evacuating any invaded nations, and to set free any that were obtained as a result of the war.
 * How would you summarize the main objectives of the 14 Points?

Colonies of Britain and France will be satisfied with the 14 points because they give the colonized nations more equality and power under their homeland.
 * How might the colonies of Britain and France react to the 14 points?

In Depth: pg 666 Colonial modernization was mostly orientated to the males because they were the ones leading nationalist movements as women kind of rode in the backas just back up supporters for the men. Long traditions of stay at home women, might have contributed to the struggles women faced whenachieving social and politicalequality in new independent nations. Since the educated men were always the ones leading Nationalist movements as women just kind of supported them behind the scenes, there was no big iconic woman to move to equalify men and women politically.
