Answer :

"Nationalities which are now under Turkish rule should be assured an …opportunity of an autonomous development…”

Answer:  “Nationalities which are now under Turkish rule should be assured an …opportunity of an autonomous development…”

The Fourteen Points (January 8, 1918) was a statement by President Woodrow Wilson, which was to be used for peace negotiations in order to end World War I.

In these lines, the president discusses the importance of giving nations the opportunity to govern themselves. He argues that the countries that were under Turkish rule (as part of the Ottoman Empire) deserved the opportunity to create an autonomous government and direct their own development.
