Read the second point from President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points and answer the question. Absolute freedom of navigation upon the
seas, outside territorial waters, alike in
peace and in war, except as the seas may
be closed in whole or in part by
international action for the enforcement
of international covenants.
What MOST LIKELY prompted the inclusion of this point by President Wilson?
O Hawaii's annexation by the United States
the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor
O the discovery of the Zimmermann Telegram
German attacks on civilian ships during World War I
