Question 37 • World History: Issues and Patterns

What happened to President Wilson’s goal of granting self-determination after the war?

Answer
A
It was applied in Europe, but not to colonies in Africa or Asia.
B
It resulted in colonies in Africa and Asia being granted independence.
C
It resulted in elections in Europe that did away with the League of Nations.
D
It was never realized.

Explanation

Wilson’s principle of self-determination called for peoples to choose their own governments. After World War I, it influenced the redrawing of borders and creation of nations in Europe, but the victorious powers did not extend it to most peoples in their African and Asian colonies. Thus, it was applied in Europe but not to colonies in Africa or Asia.
