Wilson's "14 Points" and the treatment of the Kurds[edit]

I think that greater mention should be made of Wilson's idealistic promoting of self-determination for ethnic minorities.

Perhaps including something such as:

Although President Woodrow Wilson had crusaded with his "Fourteen Points" (8 January 1918) at the end of the First World War to assure the political rights of nationalities such as the Kurds within the former Ottoman Empire, he faltered after he was mortally stricken in Europe by the worldwide Influenza Epidemic (a.k.a. "Spanish Flu").

Later, the 1920 Treaty of Sèvres (negotiated without the dying Wilson) did promise an independent Republic of Kurdistan to be preceded by a popular referendum. Kurdistan was to be located in what is now Turkey, including the region around Mosul, Iraq. But that proposal was never implemented, since that treaty was replaced by the more imperial, pro-colonial Treaty of Lausanne in 1923.
