Question

in addition to helping the allies win the war, president wilson wanted to:
a. establish permanent american military bases in europe.
b. force the enemy nations to pay american costs for the war.
c. make it impossible for future world wars to begin.
d. rebuild the economies of the enemy nations.

Explanation:

President Wilson's main post - WWI goal was to create a lasting peace. His Fourteen Points and support for the League of Nations aimed to prevent future world wars. Option A is incorrect as Wilson didn't seek permanent military bases in Europe. Option B is wrong because he was against punitive reparations (unlike the later Treaty of Versailles' harsh terms on Germany). Option D is not accurate as rebuilding enemy economies wasn't his primary focus compared to preventing future wars.

Answer:

C. Make it impossible for future world wars to begin.
