Abstract
In a perhaps precipitated move President Wilson borrowed from other leaders at war the phrase of the self-determination of nations. Yet, it is his idea of self-determination which proved the most lasting, up to our days, in spite of or thanks to its lack of conceptual precision. In this article, some of the beliefs which Wilson arrived at during his time as a Professor in Princeton, which contributed in 1918 to his vision of a world order based on self-determination, are highlighted. In addition, an attempt is made to investigate the connection between the peculiar nation that a linguistic group is and the Wilsonian self-determination.
