•Freedom of the Seas- Free territory, anybody can travel/trade- idea was based on to stop fighting over
•Free Trade- NAFTA- trade with out tariffs- dress trade agreement means you can trade with out paying tax
•Disarmament- Countries have less weapons
•Return of Russian territory held by Germany- had to give back huge amount of territory
•Alsace-Lorraine returned to France
•Formation of the League of Nations (Collective Security- all countries protect each other)-First attempt of United Nations was called League of Nations.However there were flaws involved which lead to the failure.
•Self Determination-
