Who was Woodrow Wilson? GROUP: B Short answer questions 8 × 5 = 40

Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924) was the 28th President of the United States, serving from 1913 to 1921. A prominent leader of the Progressive Movement and a member of the Democratic Party, he is best known for his leadership during World War I.

Wilson is historically significant for his "Fourteen Points," a blueprint for world peace proposed in 1918, which advocated for self-determination, free trade, and the establishment of the League of Nations to prevent future global conflicts. Although he was a key architect of the League of Nations, he faced domestic opposition, and the United States ultimately did not join. His presidency marked a shift in American foreign policy from isolationism toward active internationalism.
