Wilson’s fourteen points dealt with the alliances that caused World War I, these points were created as Germany backed up Austria-Hungary when Serbia attacked. Germany backing up Austria-Hungary cause fear and terrorization to other countries, which made other power build up their army. The major point that contributed to the removal of the alliances, was the implementation of open diplomacy. It became law that no meetings or decisions could be agreed on without public knowledge or consent. In 1914, when Germany granted a blank cheque to Austria-Hungary, they promised they would support Austria-Hungary regardless of the situation. Russia began to pre-mobilize their army on July 31st and called to France to begin to mobilize their army as well.
