Wilson, Woodrow

Woodrow Wilson was the 28th President of the United States, serving from 1913 to 1921. A leader during World War I, he is known for promoting the idea of a "League of Nations," aimed at ensuring lasting peace after the war. Wilson's administration championed domestic reforms, including the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Trade Commission. His vision for international cooperation shaped modern diplomacy but faced challenges, including opposition in the U.S. Senate. Wilson's legacy is complex, as he is also critiqued for his views on race and civil rights. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919.
