During this essay, we will examine President Woodrow Wilson's 14 [comma] points, paying particular attention to the three points that were most important to him. I will also identify the history of why these 14 points were established and drafted, to include the President's mindset and core beliefs (especially his formal years). We will then examine the politics of the Treaty of Versailles, explicitly examining the reasons for its failure in the U.S. Senate and the individuals responsible for its demise. The final part of this essay will focus on United States foreign policy in the 1920s under Presidents Harding and Coolidge; also, the treatment and position of their administrations on the three main points of the fourteen.
