Explanation:

1. President Wilson's Fourteen Points included establishing an independent Poland, a peace-keeping association (League of Nations), and autonomous development for peoples of Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. It did not call for preserving the Ottoman Empire's integrity; instead, it pushed for self-determination for its peoples.
2. Article X of the League of Nations Covenant required members to defend other nations' territorial integrity. U.S. Senators opposed this because they feared it would force American military involvement in European conflicts without congressional approval.
3. When the U.S. entered WWI, most American women supported the war effort. With men drafted into the military, many women took over jobs traditionally held by men to sustain the home front.
4. Eugene Debs gave an anti-war speech in 1918 criticizing U.S. involvement in WWI. He was arrested and convicted under the Espionage Act, which restricted anti-war speech during the conflict.
