This assessment is a document analysis of Woodrow Wilsons 14 Points .I have attached a pdf document of the 14 points speech that needs to be analysed for this assignment .The analysis needs a mixture of 8 sources such as text books, journal articles, and autobiographies to explain the motivation and importance of the chosen document which is Woodrow Wilsons 14 points. Please try to include all of the points below when doing the document analysis:
• What is the significance of the date when the document was written?
• Why was the document written?
• What audience was the document directed at?
• Were there any unintended consequences to the speech or document?
• What were the main aims/concerns of US policy in the period?
• What factors shaped US policy during the period? Did US policy change?
• How successful was US policy in meeting these aims?
• How significant was the document to US foreign policy?
• Was the document a major change or reflected continuity with US policy?
These are broader themes about US foreign policy that will place the more immediate political setting into an historical context and will lead to a deeper analysis:
i. Historical context and immediate political issues
ii. American political ideals/concepts – liberty, democracy, freedom
iii. Concepts of American exceptionalism and religious rhetoric
iv. Concepts of free trade
v. Electoral cycles
vi. Audience: Hyphenated Americans, regional, national and global messaging
vii. The Monroe Doctrine – sphere of influence
