What was the biggest challenge president wilson faced in europe and at home as he tried to promote his fourteen points?

no one in europe or the united states was in favor of the league of nations, fearing that one nation would take it over and use it to make war.

people in europe and the united states wanted the treaty to focus on punishing germany, not on making future wars harder to start.

european nations did not want to allow their overseas colonies to become independent, fearing that other european nations would seize those colonies.

americans felt that the united states should be allowed to have more influence in european politics, to prevent another war.

The correct answer is “People in Europe and the United States wanted the treaty to focus on punishing Germany, not on making future wars harder to start.”

Wilson’s 14 points focused on settle border disputes, military cutbacks, lower tariffs and ban secret treaties between nations - that mainly caused the conflict -. But Wilson did not want to go and over-punish Germany and this was the main problem he faced, France, Britain, and Italy rejected his peace treaty with Germany because of that.

Some points of the 14 were included on the Treaty of Versailles, but the Allies wanted Germany to accept the blame for the war and make them pay 33 billion dollars in reparations and give large parts of the German territory. This eventually caused the outbreak of WWII.
