  12. While President Wilson's ideas were no doubt noble and, apparently,
  13. influenced by his knowledge as a historian, their realization was
  14. anything but successful. The USA did not join the league of nations,
  15. and the Paris peace treaties of 1919 resulted in a mockery if the
  16. good intentions of Wilson's 14 points. They actually set the stage
  17. for Hitler and WWII.  [read "of" instead of "if" above]
