President Woodrow Wilson

President Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924) was the 28th U.S. president, serving from 1913 to 1921. He was known for leading the nation through World War I and promoting the idea of lasting peace through his vision of the League of Nations, an international organization aimed at preventing future conflicts. Wilson was also a scholar and academic before his presidency, serving as the president of Princeton University and as a governor of New Jersey. His leadership helped shape modern American foreign policy, though his presidency faced challenges, including domestic opposition and the complexities of post-war diplomacy.
