Question

what happened to president wilsons goal of granting self-determination after the war?
it was never realized.
it was applied in europe, but not to colonies in africa or asia.
it resulted in colonies in africa and asia being granted independence.
it resulted in elections in europe that did away with the league of nations.

Explanation:

To answer this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Wilson's self - determination goal was partially realized in Europe (e.g., for new states like Czechoslovakia), so "never realized" is wrong.
• Option 2: After WWI, self - determination was applied to European regions (like creating new European states from former empires) but colonial powers didn't extend it to African/Asian colonies. Colonial rule continued there, so this matches historical reality.
• Option 3: African and Asian colonies were not granted independence post - WWI due to colonial powers' interests, so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: The League of Nations was established after WWI, and elections in Europe didn't "do away" with it. The League ended mainly due to WWII and lack of US participation, so this is wrong.

Answer:

B. It was applied in Europe, but not to colonies in Africa or Asia.
