Armistice with Germany

World War One (WWI) was a crucial turning point for the United States. The U.S. was involved in WWI partly because of Germany’s submarine warfare on other European nations.

To no avail, the U.S. had to enter the war to try to subdue the hostile negotiations in Europe. The war had just ended when Wilson delivered The Fourteen Points speech, which was intended to propose world peace and the actions that had to be taken in order to achieve that peace. By dissecting the content of the Fourteen Points, the reader can understand the implications and impact Wilson’s speech had on the audience. Wilson is addressing not only Americans in this speech, but also other countries. This is evident by the fact that the purpose of the Fourteen Points is to propose world peace.

The Armistice of 1918, which put an end to the fighting of World War I, was appreciated by the millions of remaining soldiers; it however, did not truly put an end to the war.
