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. Post-war, he championed the League of Nations, earning a Nobel Peace Prize, but faced opposition at home. His presidency was marked by significant economic reforms, but also by regressive racial policies. Wilson's legacy includes the 19th Amendment and the eventual formation of the United Nations.
