Question

read one of wilsons \fourteen points.\ think about the challenges facing the peace process. which of these problems threatened wilsons point? germany continued to attack american shipping on the oceans. the allies were already making secret alliances and plans. the other heads of state refused to meet with wilson. 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. -woodrow wilson \the fourteen points\

Explanation:

Wilson's first point called for open covenants of peace, meaning no secret international understandings. The Allies making secret alliances and plans directly violated this principle. Germany attacking American shipping is related to war - time aggression and not directly to the openness of peace - making. Other heads of state refusing to meet with Wilson is about diplomatic relations but not about the secrecy of international agreements.

Answer:

The Allies were already making secret alliances and plans.
