Solution
President Woodrow Wilson of America was a very peace loving man. In January, 1918, he put forward a peace programme consisting of fourteen points to end the First World War. These points included:
(i) Discard of secret treaties,
(ii) Freedom ip the use of seas by all nations,
(iii) Reduction in armaments,
(iv) Conduct of negotiations between different states openly,
(v) Evacuation of Belgium by Germany,
(vi) Restoration of Alsace-Lorraine to France,
(vii) Creation of independent States in Europe, and
(viii) Establishment of a world organisation to guarantee political independence and territorial integrity of different States.
Many of the above points were covered by the different treaties that were signed after the First World War. For instance, Belgium \yas evacuated by Germany: Alsace and Lorraine were returned to France; many small states like Poland, Finland, Czechoslovakia, Latvia, etc. were created on the.principle of nationality, and an international organisation with the name of the League of Nations was created to maintain the world peace.

The final act of the long-drawn-out negotiations took place at Versailles on Saturday afternoon and to-day Germany and the Allies - always with the exception of America - are at peace. Peace is a blessed word and both the word and the fact are welcome to-day. So far as Germany is concerned, there is for the present, an end of strife and at least a formal return to the decent relations of civilised states.
