About the Author

Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924) was the twenty-eighth president of the United States (1913 – 1921). In April 1917, Wilson led the United States into World War I; after the war Wilson dreamed of “peace without vengeance” but was thwarted at Versailles, where he compromised away his Fourteen Points to obtain the League of Nations. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919.
