Woodrow Wilson: A World War and a League of Nations (1913 - 1921)

Woodrow Wilson, the 28th U.S. President, was a key figure in the Progressive Era, known for his domestic reforms and leadership during World War I. Despite his efforts to maintain neutrality, he led the U.S. into the war due to German provocations.
