| Contextual Notes | The Committee on Military Affairs was established in 1816 to address issues involving military justice. After World War I, President Wilson participated in negotiations with the stated aim of assuring statehood for formerly oppressed nations and an equitable peace. On January 8, 1918, Wilson made his famous Fourteen Points address, which introduced the idea of a League of Nations, and he subsequently spent six months in Paris for the Peace Conference, making him the first U.S. president to travel to Europe while in office. |
