33 based on this excerpt, explain the point of view of united states president wilson regarding what should happen in europe. 1

Explanation:

Wilson's view (from the "Fourteen Points") emphasizes creating a peaceful Europe. He advocates for self - determination (e.g., Austria - Hungary’s peoples, Balkan states, Turkish - ruled nationalities to have autonomous development), restoring occupied territories (Rumania, Serbia, Montenegro), ensuring territorial integrity and economic independence (Balkan states), and open access (Dardanelles for all nations’ commerce) to promote justice, fair dealing, and peace among nations.

Answer:

President Wilson believed Europe should be reorganized for peace. He supported self - determination for peoples (e.g., Austria - Hungary, Balkan states, Turkish - ruled groups), evacuation of occupied territories (Rumania, Serbia, Montenegro), territorial/economic independence for Balkan states, and open access to the Dardanelles, all to ensure justice, fair dealing, and global peace.
