Answer 1

To connect Woodrow Wilson’s intentions of imperialist rule to national self-determination, the most appropriate statement would be:

"The colonized people of the Austro-Hungarian Empire had the right to national self-determination."

Wilson's idea of self-determination was particularly linked to the support for various national groups seeking independence, especially in the context of post-World War I and the redrawing of boundaries in Europe. His emphasis on self-determination was also significant in the context of empires that had been involved in the war, like Austro-Hungarian, Ottoman, and others, where various ethnic groups sought autonomy or independence.
