Question

why did president wilson want the united states to provide leadership at the end of world war i? he wanted to ensure economic stability in the nations affected by the war. he believed the united states would be able to protect world peace. he felt the united states was in a position to dominate international waters. he thought the united states could avoid future world conflicts by asserting its dominance.

Explanation:

Wilson's Fourteen Points emphasized a role for the U.S. in global peace - keeping. The League of Nations (a key part of his vision) was about collective security for world peace. Economic stability (first option) was not the main focus of his call for U.S. leadership. Dominating international waters (third option) was not a part of his stated goals. Asserting dominance to avoid conflicts (fourth option) is contrary to the idealistic tone of his Fourteen Points which was more about cooperation for peace.

Answer:

He believed the United States would be able to protect world peace.
