Agreed in that Wilson was trying to achieve a permanent peace, hence the nickname for World War I: "The War to End All Wars". The conflict was essentially so horrifyingly murderous, that there was a serious postwar movement to avoid such conflicts in the future at all costs. Wilson simply looked at the most common causes of conflict and tried to remove them with the Fourteen Points.
Another of the causes, in addition to those listed above, that Wilson was concerned with, were the secret alliances countries made. This gave them confidence that, with their allies, they could prevail in a war, and they tended to act more aggressively. This was true right before World War I in Europe. Wilson called for "Open covenants, openly arrived at". It was pretty idealistic that all countries would disclose any and all treaties they made with other countries, but the world was pretty idealistic at that time.
Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Poland were all countries resurrected/born out of the Fourteen Points and his call for self-determination. It is important to note that only four of the Fourteen Points was actually in the Treaty of Versailles, and then the United States Senate never ratified that treaty, so we were never a part of the League of Nations. It was doomed to failure.
