Woodrow Wilson – 1918, The Capitol, Washington D.C. – Proposals for a Postwar Peace Settlement
Woodrow Wilson, the 28th United States president, led his country through a tumultuous time in world politics. His two terms in office were marked with the onset and end of World War I. Thus, he later played an essential role in the peace settlement that followed the Great War.
Perhaps his most significant contribution is a declaration known as “Fourteen Points,” which he delivered during a 1918 session of the American Congress. In it, he highlighted the principles of peace that the Allies and Germany should abide by. The League of Nations, an idea Wilson included in his declaration, was established two years later in 1920.
