Progressive Era and Woodrow Wilson's Impact

In the early 20th century, industrialization reshaped America, prompting the progressive movement to seek more citizen involvement in government. Woodrow Wilson emerged as a key figure, winning the 1912 election and implementing significant reforms like reducing tariffs and establishing the Federal Reserve. During WWI, Wilson aimed to make the world safe for democracy and proposed the League of Nations. However, post-war fatigue and political shifts prevented the U.S. from joining the League, and Wilson's health deteriorated, marking a transformative yet challenging presidency.
