Which two phrases best describe the underlying objectives of president wilson's fourteen points?
to build military strength to deter aggression
to form a lasting peace with just treaty terms
to establish trade barriers as an economic means of punishing aggressive countries
to create a balance of power between the united states and the central powers
to provide security for all countries, including the allied and central powers

The correct answers are

to form a lasting peace with just treaty terms- This is evident from Wilson's 14th point which resulted in the creation of the League of Nations. This international organization would be focused on ensuring world peace by bringing together countries from all over the world. His hope was that this organization would allow for countries to solve their problems diplomatically rather than through warfare.

to establish trade barriers as an economic means of punishing aggressive countries. - Wilson did not believe directly blaming a country for the beginning of the war or reducing the size of a country's military would be effective ways to prevent future acts of aggression. Rather, he felt that hurting their economic prospects was a much better way to ensure their cooperation in the future.
