Interpretation of President Woodrow Wilson’s 14 points
I. Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private international understandings of any kind but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view.
The purpose of this point is to forbid arrangements, segments of settlements or indulgences that are formed in secret with making it available to the members of the public.
The expression "openly arrived at” was used by the president to disclose to the Senate that the expression was not intended to reject private strategic arrangements including fragile matters, but to address that anything that occurs through any classified arrangements or consultations might not tie, unless it shows up in the Final agreement that is made known to the world. The point also proves that in future; each bargain most be a law that covers the general public and the world as a whole by making each country accepts a sure commitment with respect to its requirement. Clearly, countries can't expect commitments in matters they are not aware of; and subsequently any mystery settlement has a tendency to undermine the whole structure of universal agreements that will be proposed in future.
II. Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas, outside territorial waters, alike in peace and in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part by international action for the enforcement of international covenants.
The purpose of this point is to explain that during the time of peace or war, International seas shall be free to sail across. This point also explains the rights of independent shipping and private possessions on the seas during a war between different nations will be granted especially when the war does not affect other nations. Therefore, it is a war in which the association of Nations remains unbiased.
Clearly, the proposition's expectation is that when such war ensues, the privileges of unbiased might be kept up against the nation engaged and their rights must be categorically characterized in the law of each country.
III. The removal, so far as possible, of all economic barriers and the establishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations consenting to the peace and associating themselves for its maintenance.
The purpose of this point is to set free trade between the countries who accept the peace.
The proposition applies just to those countries that acknowledge the commitments of participation in the Union of Nations. It implies that the liquidation of all outstanding profitable agreement, with the exchange of each country in the Group of nations. In this way a country could legitimately keep up a levy or an exceptional railroad rate or a port limitation against the entire world. It could keep up any sort of limitation that is chosen against a country not in the Union. It expresses that there should be a reasonable and equal understanding as to the conveyance of raw materials among nations.
IV. Adequate guarantees given and taken that national armaments will be reduced to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety.
This point illustrates that there will be a global decrease in the distribution of weapons and armies by all countries.
The expression "Domestic safety" does not only identify the private regulation but also the protection of countries against attack. The increase of arms over this level would be an expectation's violation of the plan.

V. A free, open-minded, and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims, based upon a strict observance of the principle that in determining all such questions of sovereignty the interests of the populations concerned must have equal weight with the equitable claims of the government whose title is to be determined.
This point entails that foreign entitlements over land and regions will be rational
This point clearly state to ensure that the interest of the population must not be mobilized, under firm regulation there shall be considerable work conditions, benefits, and expenses, a clean administration must be kept, upgrades in the method for toll road be made, that local association and custom be regarded, that the protecting influence have satisfactory assets in cash and to have the representatives act effectively.

VI. The evacuation of all Russian territory and such a settlement of all questions affecting Russia as will secure the best and freest cooperation of the other nations of the world in obtaining for her an unhampered and unembarrassed opportunity for the independent determination of her own political development and national policy and assure her of a sincere welcome into the society of free nations under institutions of her own choosing; and, more than a welcome, assistance also of every kind that she may need and may herself desire. The treatment accorded Russia by her sister nations in the months to come will be the acid test of their good will, of their comprehension of her needs as distinguished from their own interests, and of their intelligent and unselfish sympathy.
This point notes that Russia will be left alone to regulate its own form of government. All German troops will have to leave Russian territory.
This point proclaims that ruling ties with German or Austrian or Romanov sovereigns must not be allowed in Russian governmental matters. It Suggest that power must be given to Russian government. However this recommendation ought not to be understood as barring a customs union, a fiscal union, a railroad union, and so on. Additionally Russia can unite with these countries on her own terms.
VII. Belgium, the whole world will agree, must be evacuated and restored, without any attempt to limit the sovereignty which she enjoys in common with all other free nations. No other single act will serve as this will serve to restore confidence among the nations in the laws which they have themselves set and determined for the government of their relations with one another. Without this healing act the whole structure and validity of international law is forever impaired.
This point enforces that German troops will leave Belgium and Belgium shall be an independent country. More emphasis was placed on the word “restored." The rule that ought to be set up is that on account of Belgium there shall be no restrictions that exist in a “lawful" and "unlawful" way. The acknowledgment of this guideline would constitute "the mending demonstration" which in turn relates to the Protection of the control of Belgium.

VIII. All French territory should be freed and the invaded portions restored, and the wrong done to France by Prussia in 1871 in the matter of Alsace-Lorraine, which has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly fifty years, should be righted, in order that peace may once more be made secure in the interest of all.
This point illustrates that France will reclaim all regions including the unclaimed land of Alsace-Lorraine. Concerning the restoration of French region it may well be contended that the attack of northern France, being the consequence of the unlawful action in regard to Belgium. The point shows to prove that despite all the circumstances it is best for peace to be restored in the region

IX. A re-adjustment of the frontiers of Italy should be effected along clearly recognizable lines of nationality.
This point enforces that all Italians are to be allowed to live in Italy and Italy's borders and to be recognized at the nationals of the nation. Italy's security will be immensely improved and the need of substantial arms reduced. It may therefore, be given that Italy ought to have her case in the Trentino, however that the northern part, occupied by Germans, ought to be totally self-ruling and that the population ought not be at risk to military ruling.
X. The people of Austria-Hungary, whose place among the nations we wish to see safeguarded and assured, should be accorded the freest opportunity to autonomous development.
This point proposes that Independence should be allowed for all those living in Austria-Hungary. For a very long time, the United States has always been dedicated to the system of national unity and independence. The president point here proves it all that the protection of national minorities is assured for the nation Austria-Hungary.
XI. Romania, Serbia, and Montenegro should be evacuated; occupied territories restored; Serbia accorded free and secure access to the sea; and the relations of the several Balkan states to one another determined by friendly counsel along historically established lines of allegiance and nationality; and international guarantees of the political and economic independence and territorial integrity of the several Balkan states should be entered into.
This point suggest that The Dominant Supremacies will leave Serbia, Montenegro, and these countries will leave Serbia, so the country can claim and gain her independence. It also encourages that free access across the see shall be guaranteed, and the passage shall be a secured one. Political and monetary freedom and territory should be honored and guaranteed. Also the sealed by global treaty shall be held without interference with its guidelines.
XII. The Turkish portion of the present Ottoman Empire should be assured a secure sovereignty, but the other nationalities which are now under Turkish rule should be assured an undoubted security of life and an absolutely unmolested opportunity of autonomous development, and the Dardanelles should be permanently opened as a free passage to the ships and commerce of all nations under international guarantees.
This point proposes independence for the Turkish people and the non-citizen of Turkey that are under the Turkish jurisdiction. It generally recommends that The Turkish people of the Ottoman Empire will have total control and power over the activities that takes place in their land, as well as other nationalities under their authority. The point also recommends that as Turkish gain their independence, there should be well maintained security provided to them, as well as the provisions for minorities by allowing an open entryway of railroad available to all nationals

XIII. An independent Polish state should be erected which should include the territories inhabited by indisputably Polish populations, which should be assured a free and secure access to the sea, and whose political and economic independence and territorial integrity should be guaranteed by international covenant.
The first recommendation the point shows is that Poland shall be an independent country and it should claim all the territories her citizen occupied. Secondly, the point also recommend that a free access should be provided for passages across the sea, doing so, with thoroughgoing passage security assurance. Lastly, the point suggest that their political and monetary freedom and territory should be honored and guaranteed by global treaty.

XIV. A general association of nations must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike.
This point proposes that association of different nation around the globe will be formed and this will secure the freedom of all nations regardless of how enormous or little. To conclude, this point summarizes that the coming together of different countries will serve as an essential key of an unchanging peace around the globe.
