The fourteen points was a speech delivered by president woodrow wilson to congress on January 8 1918
The adress was intended to assure the county that the great war (WWI) was being fought for a moral cause for postwar peace in europe
Other allied countries did not like the 14 points as the thought it was to easy on germany.
the speech became the basis for the terms of the german surrender, as negotiated at the pass peace conference in 1919
The actual treaty of versailes had little to do with the 14 points and so was never ratified by the US senate.
