President Wilson's 14 point plan

           Woodrow Wilson was the President of United States during WWI and he made proposals hoping to accomplish just and lasting peace.  The proposals were known as the Fourteen Points.  One point was to have reduced national armies and navies.  This doesn't exist in today's world there is not a limit to any countries army or navy.  The only thing that happens is other countries start to get alarmed if there is any more than usual military action, but there is not technical limit.  The second point I chose is the points about territorial changes and new nations.  Even today after war or battles, land is usually the thing that is negotiated and settled.  Countries are still seperating and creating new nations.  For example, Sudan has recently seperated and South Sudan has been created.   Thirdly, Freedom of seas and also free trade, these ideas are still apart of today's life.  Countries can claim seas in their own territory but that's it and also i'm almost positive no one can limit trade except maybe to smaller third world countries with little power.  Fourth and final a "general association of nations" that would be able to represent all countries and nations so that conflicts could be negotiated peacefully.  Pertaining to all world conflicts, such as WWI.  The league of nations was created because of this point but it wasn't lasting or just in any way, the bigger countries had to much decision and power.  But we now have the United Nations which is not at all like the systems the League of Nations used, it is in place to try and keep peace which is overall what Wilson wanted to accomplish with it.
