Cevap
The creation of the League of Nations to maintain international peace
The correct answer is correct because President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points speech, delivered in January 1918, outlined his vision for a stable postwar world. The fourteenth point explicitly called for a 'general association of nations' to guarantee political independence and territorial integrity, which was realized through the creation of the League of Nations at the Paris Peace Conference.
