the Fourteen Points
/ðə ˌfɔːtiːn ˈpɔɪnts/
/ðə ˌfɔːrtiːn ˈpɔɪnts/
- the 14 aims of the US at the end of the First World War, as presented by President Woodrow Wilson to Congress on 8 January 1918. They included a reduction in military weapons, freedom of the seas, free international trade and several land agreements, such as establishing an independent Poland. The Fourteen Points were used in preparing the Treaty of Versailles. The League of Nations was based on the last of them, which called for a general 'association of nations'.
“十四点”：第一次世界大战结束时美国的14个目标，正如伍德罗·威尔逊总统在1918年1月8日向国会提出的那样。这些目标包括减少军用武器，海洋自由，自由的国际贸易以及土地协议，例如建立独立的波兰。十四点被用于编写《凡尔赛条约》。国际联盟是基于它们中的最后一个而建立的，它要求建立一个一般的“国家协会”。
