Answer
Brief Explanations:
President Wilson's "Fourteen Points" emphasized open diplomacy, freedom of the seas, self - determination, and reducing armaments. Let's analyze each option:
- Option 1: A secret treaty goes against the idea of open diplomacy in the Fourteen Points.
- Option 2: Insisting on reparations was more in line with the punitive approach of the Treaty of Versailles, not the Fourteen Points' vision of a more conciliatory and just peace.
- Option 3: The Fourteen Points supported self - determination, but this option is about Germany and Austria determining their own governments. However, the main focus of self - determination in the Fourteen Points was more on the peoples of Europe (like the Balkans) to choose their own governments, and this option is not the best fit.
- Option 4: The freedom of the seas was one of the key points in the Fourteen Points. Britain and Germany agreeing to jointly control navigation of the seas aligns with the idea of freedom of the seas (open access to seas for all nations in peace and war, with some regulations).
Answer:
D. Britain and Germany agree to jointly control navigation of the seas.
