1) List four principles of the fourteen points. Which of the fourteen points did Wilson think was most important?
The four principles were to eliminate secret treaties (the main causes of war) through open diplomacy, secure freedom of the seas, develop free-trade, and encourage disarmament. Wilson believed that the most important point was the last, which called for a "general association of nations".
2) List three types of anti-German propaganda used by the U.S. during the war.
The "Americanization" of immigrants was spread as an idea that would change public (immigrant) views of the U.S. for the better; they sent out pamphlets in foreign languages that told immigrants why they should support the U.S. The Wilson administration passed the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918 which, combined, took away many rights of the people by outlawing expressions of anti-war and pro-German views. Also, the Committee on Public Information was created by Wilson.
3) What was the purpose of the Committee on Public Information?
The C.P.I. was created to promote the war domestically and shape information of the war into something that would cause as much support as possible for the war.
