In conclusion, the political decisions related to nationalism, peace, and relations between countries set the stage for the political interactions of the rest of the 20th century, in particular World War II.  Although the goals of Woodrow Wilson in his Fourteen Points were wise, they were still too ideal for humanity to follow.  Must animosity was stirred up by the decisions of the Treaty of Versailles and the other peace treaties of the Great War and this hostility was a direct cause of World War II.  The romantic ideals of the 19th century were scorched by the blood of millions of  soldiers and out of the ashes emerged a new global society with a comparatively realistic outlook on life and on political relations.
