Library of Congress. In August 1914, President Woodrow Wilson asked Americans to remain impartial in thought and deed toward the war that had just broken out in Europe. Wilson wanted the United States to exemplify the democratic commitment to peace, but "The Great War" continually challenged the nation's neutrality.

In his effort to produce a new approach to international affairs to compete with the Bolsheviks, he hoped that collective security within the League of Nations would be the place to start, built around a world of largely democratic, free-trading nation-states.
As expressed by Clausewitz’s famous dictum that war is the continuation of politics by other means, the great powers had worked to maintain the relationship between war and politics, even as those powers themselves experience significant internal and systemic changes over the century.

By 1916 at the latest the war had lost any connection to coherent and sensible political platforms. It made sense that someone should have tried to end it. The belligerents, however, showed little initiative. Even worse, when the last efforts in this direction came from the Vatican, Washington, and Vienna, the belligerents devoted their efforts to undermining them.
Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Turkey, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Russia all claimed territories around the globe. They also conducted elaborate espionage schemes against each other, engaged in a continuous arms race, and constructed a precarious system of military alliances .
In the 14th Point, Wilson envisioned a global organization to protect states and prevent future wars.
Updated July 07, 2019. November 11 is, of course, Veterans' Day. Originally called "Armistice Day," it marked the ending of World War I in 1918. It also marked the beginning of an ambitious foreign policy plan by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson.
The Treaty of Versailles. The Fourteen Points served as the foundation for the Versailles Peace Conference that began outside of Paris in 1919. However, the Treaty of Versailles was markedly different than Wilson's proposal. France—which had been attacked by Germany in 1871 and was the site of most of the fighting in World War I—wanted ...
Most Americans—in an isolationist mood after the war—did not want any part of a global organization which could lead them into another war. Wilson campaigned throughout the U.S. trying to convince Americans to accept the League of Nations. They never did, and the League limped toward World War II with U.S. support.
