" This was an extremely important point, as history has shown us. Without following the "open covenants of peace, openly arrived at." Wilson knew, apparently, even before the Versailles treaty was signed, of the fact that in case of all the interests of different nations not taken into account, the treaty will have no effect as a long lasting agreement designed to facilitate peace for the years to come. D. Lloyd George expressed this idea in the following manner at Versailles: "It is easy to patch up peace which will last for 30 years. You may strip Germany if she feels she has been unjustly treated she will find means of exacting retribution from her conquerors." The fact that this possible outcome was foreseen by Woodrow Wilson even before the Treaty of Versailles and what he had attempted to avoid in the formulation of the first point of the document, speaks in favor of the author by pointing out his excellent political foresight. In other words, this fact explicitly signifies that Wilson's position, being in contrast with the interests of other Allies, viewed the point of time where the actions took place not as a discrete time interval in which political, national, economic, and territorial claims can be easily satisfied. Rather he viewed it as a part of the infinite historical continuum, where the wrong decisions implemented to satisfy individualistic national ambitions can lead to an even greater disaster in the long run. A disaster much worse than the Great War, and that is exactly what happened several decades later, Germany rebelled in an attempt to exact retribution from her conquerors and made the whole world suffer from the horrifying realities of the World War II. .
As a direct result of point 14, the League of Nations was created. The creation of the League of Nations, even though being the most important outcome of the Fourteen Points peace agreement from the Woodrow Wilson's perspective, was not the only one reason for President Wilson to write the document.
