Diplomatic, Conciliatory, Formal

Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points were aimed at the United States Congress, the leaders of the Allies, and even the Germans. Wilson faced the difficult task of convincing all groups to go along with his ideas for world peace.

That's sort of like trying to win over your in-laws while simultaneously acing a job interview.

To outline his vision, Wilson relied on a soft approach, promising security to all parties involved (even soon-to-be-vanquished Germany), not just the United States:

We entered this war because violations of right had occurred which…made the life of our own people impossible unless they were corrected and the world secure…for all against their recurrence. (Intro.4)

Wilson would have been great at handling break-ups. Hey, it's not you, it's just…violations of right occurred.
