Woodrow Wilson: The 28th U.S. President's Journey (1856 - 1924)

Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States, served from 1913 to 1921 and was a central figure during World War I. He advocated for neutrality early in the war but later led the United States into the conflict, declaring war on Germany in 1917. Wilson's leadership during the war included implementing domestic measures like the Selective Service Act and overseeing significant economic mobilization efforts. He played a key role in the post-war peace negotiations, particularly with the creation of the League of Nations, although the United States ultimately did not join. Wilson's presidency was marked by both domestic reforms and international diplomacy, leaving a lasting impact on American politics and foreign relations.
