Question 7 • US History Studies Since 1877

Which of these undermined Wilson’s Fourteen Points when he met with European leaders to sign the Treaty of Versailles in 1919?

Answer
A
The meeting was held in France and not the US.
B
The US Senate had already voted to join the League of Nations.
C
Secret treaties and military battles had already set borders.
D
Europeans thought the US was too harsh on Germany.

Explanation

Secret treaties and military victories had already influenced how European leaders wanted to redraw borders after World War I. That conflicted with Wilson’s Fourteen Points, which called for more open diplomacy and national self-determination. So secret treaties and military battles had already set borders, undermining Wilson’s proposals.
