B. False

Answer 1

Hint:
The First World War was settled by the victors at the Paris Peace Conference in the year 1919. Two dozen nations sent their delegations. There were many nongovernmental groups, but the defeated powers were not invited at all.
The Americans’ vision was set out through Wilson’s Fourteen Points for peace.

Complete solution:
The Fourteen Points was the statement of important principles for peace. These were used for the peace negotiations in order to end the First World War. These principles were announced on January 8, the year 1918. It was based on the speech on war aims and peace terms to the United States Congress by President Woodrow Wilson at that time.

Those fourteen points emphasized free trade, self-determination. It also emphasized for the founding of a League of Nations to support territorial and political independence of the fellow nations.

England and France both opposed these Fourteen Points. This is because they disagreed on freedom of the seas and war reparations, respectively. The Senate also opposed the League of Nations because of the possibility America would be obligated to fight in foreign wars.

Additional Information:
Since Russia was supporting the country of Serbia which was made up of the Serbs, Slavs and poles. Therefore, Wilson's ideas gave this minority the chance to get respect as well as the protection for the rights of small nations. Finally, it encouraged the united force of all nations.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Note:
Woodrow Wilson was the American politician and academic who served as the 28th President of the USA during 1913-1921. His second term was dominated by the American entry into the First World War.
