Thank you for this. I am currently in college trying to teach myself because my teachers have fully given up on being teachers so thanks for making a video that easily explains all of this I appreciate you
the fact the wilson passed the federal reserve act (which put us more into debt) , prohibited alcohol which was inaffective , segregated the government due to his racist views , had people arrested who expressed their opinions against the first world war and shut down newspaper stands who also opposed the war (which violates the 1st amendment) , endorsed "the birth of a nation " a film that promoted the KKK during civil wartime and wilson played it at the white house , won the reelection with the slogan "he kept us out of war " yet within months of his second term asked congress to declare war ( thus lying to the american public) , and mandated the income tax and thus led to the creation of the IRS . the only decent thing that came out of that guy was the 19th amendment . Woodrow Wilson is probably the most racist, unconstitutional president we ever had . no wonder the progressive era died out . no wonder americans were fed up with this guy and choose Harding who was also bad .
Thank you, Keith Hughes! I teach Community High School and many of my students have trouble getting details out of the text. I love finding entertaining videos on TH-cam that will help them understand the important points. I appreciate your entertaining delivery. I look forward to sharing more of your videos. Thank you!
Have you ever gone through one of those car washes with the rotating brushes? Have you ever noticed how when that big horizontal brush bumps the hood of the car and skips over the roof at first and then touches down and works it's way down the back? Is that how your barber approaches your hairstyle?
Normally, I would not come up with an excuse, b/c I own my hairstyle. But tonight.... b4 the lecture I asked my wife to trim my sideburns. I swear. She proceeded to use what she thought was a #3 on my sides.... she used a #1 right up and around my ear.... well that was that. Ugh. lol #truethat thanks for the laugh brother. I am sure the feeling is mutual.
Keith Hughes My hair hasn't been cut since May 21, 2005. True story. I fly a freak flag, right? So your going to blame the lady- I hope she pushes you down and slaps you with the FlowBee hose. You are most welcome for the funny, but remember brother, looks ain't everything.
Ok so I'm not a kid but I am a student taking a Globalization class and was having a hard time wrapping my head around my wordy textbook. Just wasn't getting the political-ese. This was EXTREMELY helpful! Why aren't textbooks written like this?? Rock on!
I have a question if you don't mind sir. the 5th point says that colonies had to be adjusted fairly. But the last one says that a league of nations was to be established for independence for small and big countries alike. If there was to be independence, then wouldn't there be no more colonies?
Wow. Super good explanation. One of the most important points about our entry into WW1 was that the desire for peace wasn't even close to being universal. Going to war at that time was still considered romantic. But those that wanted to go "over there" couldn't decide which side to be on. It was one man; George Creel who moved America to the French and English side. He was FAR more important than Wilson or the 14 points. It has always bothered me that today, we never debate that choice.
I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoy your videos and how much they help me in school. I have to use, writing, listening, watching and reading fo rit all to sink in. Talk about exhausting ;) Thanks a ton Keith
+Spartan01 Airsoft No, they were only offered by Wilson, only the League of Nations really made it in and ironically the US who proposed it did not join it. Boom.
Woodrow Williamson had a nervous breakdown that lead to a stroke and had to be hospitalized for physiological evaluation. The press kept that quiet, unlike today.
Thanks for this! though I had a hard time hearing what youre saying because of the background music, still was very helpful!! keep it up!! not a fan of the darth vader voice
How Washington DC/US Internationalism/The American Century (all morphed into the current PNAC and a variety of think tanks today) intended to use "divide and conquer/rule"-strategies on "old Europe" starting around the turn of the century (around 1900). *Wilson's role in all of this is not clear, since it was never written down. According to logic and reasoning (based on what is known), Wilson was either not fully aware, or fully informed re. the above means by US think tanks to achieve global hegemony.* Or "a plan of sorts", because it would rely on "natural" European division. Wilson's "14 Point Speech" was of course not composed solely by Wilson himself. It was based on the work of a new York-based think tank/interest group called the Inquiry. While this produced remarkably fair solutions for many regions of the world (see for example the creation of Armenia and Kurdistan based solely on ethnicity), re. the vital Central Europe it was simply a "catalogue of historical excuses" which the 150 "experts" (LOL) had come up with and which would grant the "associated European winners" of WW1 a draft to ignore wise biblical advice: - do onto others as one wishes for oneself (aka "self-determination") - put yourself in the shoes of others (note, the Bible doesn't say that *one has to like those* in which shoes one is invited to step into) These are simple unbiased universal priciples. Clear and easy to understand to most people, since they form the basis of many religions (as moral guidelines for both the religious, as well as the growing number of atheists/agnostics, for example The Golden Rule) and wise age-old advice to stop the "sowing" of unprincipled deeds which all have to be "reaped" later on... *If the 14 Points were not universally valid principles, then what were they?* Correct answer: a Washington DC strategy of "divide" (Europeans) and "rule" (the world). From wiki: "Lippmann's draft territorial points were a direct response to the secret treaties of the European Allies, which Lippmann had been shown by Secretary of War Newton D. Baker.[7] Lippmann's task, according to House, was "to take the secret treaties, analyze the parts which were tolerable, and separate them from those which were regarded as intolerable, and then develop a position which conceded as much to the Allies as it could, but took away the poison.... It was all keyed upon the secret treaties."[7] Sources are of course, always at the bottom of that wiki page. The above is of course and example of *favoratism* (a tactic of "divide and rule"), and not a "universal principle". If they had been universal principles, then not only would the London Treaty of 1915 (regarding the secret carving up of Austria-Hungary, made to draw Italy into WW1) have been declared null and void, but also all other secret scheming and backdoor deals, like Sykes-Picot. So. They were *not* universal principles. The "14 points" were a transparent Washington DC attempt at "division", and the vain European "winners" fell for it. Wilson intention was clearly to arm-wrestle "the winners" into agreeing to an international organisation which would hopefully make all future wars impossible, or limit their scope to "limited/local wars". Also of course to lobby with all his power (faltering, since already in a weak a state of health) to convince his fellow Americans on all levels of society, that this was the right thing to do. Either that, or convince them to enter into a wise peace, which would settle long-standing European differences based on "principles" of sorts. *The end effect of such naivity on Wilson's part was that he achieved neither goal: Neither the "international organisation/round table" or "concert" of powers, nor a wise peace.* He had underestimated both the stupidity of European leaders stuck in their old ways, and his own population and their representitive form of government aka "democracy" (Senate of course at the time "around 1900" until 1913 was not directly elected yet, but was a "peer-controlled group" of insiders). In case he did understand fully what was behind the 14 Points, he did not say. Of course, every US POTUS has the obligation to put US interests first. These included breaking away from a European dominated world, as well as find markets for own steadily growing US industries. Simple lesson of history. Be principled. If not, get "divided" and "ruled over"...
My Jr's love to hear your interesting slants on stuff! By the way Hitler gets the railway car the German's sat in waiting for the Treaty of Versailles to be created to remind him of the embarrassment of the treaty.
Thanks for another great movie! I use your videos in my High School U.S. History class all the time (and this one we used today!). Great explanations, and my kids love you! #AwesomeSauce
Thank you for this. I am currently in college trying to teach myself because my teachers have fully given up on being teachers so thanks for making a video that easily explains all of this I appreciate you
If Wilson didn't have that stroke, history may of been completely different.
+Ethan Shreve true that
May HAVE been different
I am thankful for Jesus, my family, and Hip Hughes
the fact the wilson passed the federal reserve act (which put us more into debt) , prohibited alcohol which was inaffective , segregated the government due to his racist views , had people arrested who expressed their opinions against the first world war and shut down newspaper stands who also opposed the war (which violates the 1st amendment) , endorsed "the birth of a nation " a film that promoted the KKK during civil wartime and wilson played it at the white house , won the reelection with the slogan "he kept us out of war " yet within months of his second term asked congress to declare war ( thus lying to the american public) , and mandated the income tax and thus led to the creation of the IRS . the only decent thing that came out of that guy was the 19th amendment . Woodrow Wilson is probably the most racist, unconstitutional president we ever had . no wonder the progressive era died out . no wonder americans were fed up with this guy and choose Harding who was also bad .
He's the worst.
The Neelix energy is strong in this one.
Jokes aside, good summary of the Fourteen Points.

+Kaysie Williams Awesome message of validation! lol. Thanks for the kind words and a shout out to you for ur own kick ass teaching!
+Ramon Yanez Thanks. You aren't a bad student, either! You Rock!
I have attention deficit and am able to focus better when you explain things.
Have you ever gone through one of those car washes with the rotating brushes? Have you ever noticed how when that big horizontal brush bumps the hood of the car and skips over the roof at first and then touches down and works it's way down the back?

Eew, that's a class? Very NWO.
Man that was super easy to understand thanks, did a cool job with the dummies part

nice video on the 14 points! Pretty precise and clear. Thanks! Now time for my midterm...

You're welcome a lot! It sounds like you are an attention warrior!
Ha! That's me to the tee. ;) I guess that is where my 'patience' comes into play. Because I have to "focus,focus,focus"
was the treaty fautless? and why?
Now my recommended is flooded with Hip Hughes
Is the 14 points the same as the Treat of Versallies
+Spartan01 Airsoft No, they were only offered by Wilson, only the League of Nations really made it in and ironically the US who proposed it did not join it. Boom.
Your so awesome at what you do !!!
HOW has this not been taken down on a copyright claim?! Dude that Star Wars theme is BLANTANT! You're a lucky son of a gun lol
This is great! Thanks for your hard work! The kids loved the Star Wars part!
Great video, one of the best explanations ever bro. Keep up the good work
Woodrow Williamson had a nervous breakdown that lead to a stroke and had to be hospitalized for physiological evaluation. The press kept that quiet, unlike today.
extremely helpful and simple to follow!
I’m usually just cray-cray on the internet but this time I have a research paper to do on the 14 Points Lol
Thanks for this! though I had a hard time hearing what youre saying because of the background music, still was very helpful!! keep it up!! not a fan of the darth vader voice
OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS AND ALL YOUR OTHER VIDEOS YOURE THE BEST!!!!
Best online History Professor! saludos dese Tejas!
