He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919. Congress later refused to commit the USA to the League. Lusitania (with 128 Americans lost), forced him to declare war in 1917. At the peace conference in Paris he secured the inclusion of the League of Nations in individual peace treaties, but his refusal to compromise on its text contributed to its defeat in Congress. In 1919 Wilson suffered a stroke during a nationwide campaign to gain support for the League and retired from public life.

Extractions: America and the Armenian Genocide of 1915 Home Educational Resources Encyclopedia Entries on the Armenian Genocide Woodrow Wilson (1865-1924) was the twenty-eighth president of the United States, whose two terms from 1913 to 1921 spanned the years of the Armenian Genocide. Neutrality from 1914 to 1917 during World War I placed the United States in a position to intercede with the Ottomans on behalf of the Armenians. The Department of State, for example, instructed Ambassador Morgenthau to deliver the May 24 Allied note warning the Young Turk regime that it would be held liable for crimes against humanity. US neutrality also made the American Embassy in Constantinople the nexus of the information arriving from the Ottoman provinces about the atrocities committed against the Armenians, much as it served as a distribution point for funds raised in the United States for relief to the refugees. President Wilson also extended his moral support for the efforts of the Near East Relief organization by dedicating two days in October 1916 for a nationwide fundraising drive. Rouben Paul Adalian
Extractions: (Portrait) World War I broke out during President Woodrow Wilson's first term, and the United States entered the war during his second administration. Wilson had little interest in or use for intelligence and found the idea of a national "secret service" abhorrent. To Wilson, "intelligence" was synonymous with "spy." After the Armistice in 1918, he would laugh at his own naiveté about intelligence, but did nothing to ensure that the modest American capability developed during the war would remain. "LET ME TESTIFY TO THIS, MY fellow citizens, I not only did not know it until we got into this war, but I did not believe it when I was told that it was true, that Germany was not the only country that maintained a secret service. Every country in Europe maintained it, because they had to be ready for Germany's spring upon them, and the only difference between the German secret service and the other secret services was that the German secret service found out more than the others did! (Applause and laughter) And therefore Germany sprang upon the other nations at unawares [ sic ], and they were not ready for it."
Extractions: Woodrow Wilson's Changing Views of the Senate Woodrow Wilson In 1906, the president of Columbia University invited the president of Princeton University to deliver a series of lectures on American government. On April 12, 1907, Columbia students turned out to hear Princeton President Woodrow Wilson discuss the United States Senate. In the twenty years since he had prepared his doctoral dissertation on Congress without ever visiting Congress, Wilson had gained considerable first-hand experience with the Senate. In 1907, he viewed the body with a spirit of cordiality and toleration. "There is no better cure for thinking disparagingly of the Senate than a conference with men who belong to it, to find out how various, how precise, how comprehensive their information about the affairs of the nation is; and to find, what is even more important, how fair, how discreet, how regardful of public interest they are." Wilson noted sympathetically the "unmistakable condescension with which the older members of the Senate regard the President of the United States." Senior senators treat him "at most as an ephemeral phenomenon," because they have served longer than presidents and their "experience of affairs is much mellower than the President's can be; [they look] at policies with steadier vision than the President's; the continuity of the government lies in the keeping of the Senate more than in the keeping of the executive, even in respect to matters which are of the especial prerogative of the presidential office. A member of longstanding in the Senate feels that he is the professional, the President an amateur."
Extractions: Woodrow Wilson Addresses the Senate Woodrow Wilson On July 10, 1919, the president of the United States, for the first time since 1789, personally delivered a treaty to the Senate. This was no ordinary treaty; it was the Treaty of Versailles, ending World War I and establishing the League of Nations. As Secret Service agents and Capitol police sealed off the Senate wing to everyone without a special pass, President Woodrow Wilson walked into the chamber lugging the over-sized document under his right arm. Recently returned from Paris and his unprecedented self-assigned role as leader of the American negotiating team, Wilson hoped for prompt Senate approval, but feared trouble from Republicans, newly restored as the chamber's majority party. The president's address set his ratification campaign off to a stumbling start, as he strained to read from typewritten notes on small index cards. Perhaps suffering from the effects of a small stroke, Wilson inadvertently omitted words as he proceeded. Realizing this, he stopped and repeated the garbled sentence, only to drop more words and repeat more sentences. Only near the end of his forty-minute address did Wilson approach eloquence. Setting aside his cards, the president turned to the Republican side of the chamber, where members sat in sullen hostility. He declared that treaty approval was their only option. "The stage is set, the destiny disclosed. It has come about by no plan of our conceiving, but by the hand of God. We cannot turn back. The light streams on the path ahead, and nowhere else." His conclusion evoked only scattered applause.

Extractions: President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points (Delivered in Joint Session, January 8, 1918) Gentlemen of the Congress: Once more, as repeatedly before, the spokesmen of the Central Empires have indicated their desire to discuss the objects of the war and the possible basis of a general peace. Parleys have been in progress at Brest-Litovsk between Russsian representatives and representatives of the Central Powers to which the attention of all the belligerents have been invited for the purpose of ascertaining whether it may be possible to extend these parleys into a general conference with regard to terms of peace and settlement. The Russian representatives presented not only a perfectly definite statement of the principles upon which they would be willing to conclude peace but also an equally definite program of the concrete application of those principles. The representatives of the Central Powers, on their part, presented an outline of settlement which, if runch less definite, seemed susceptible of liberal interpretation until their specific program of practical terms was added. That program proposed no concessions at all either to the sovereignty of Russia or to the preferences of the populations with whose fortunes it dealt, but meant, in a word, that the Central Empires were to keep every foot of territory their armed forces had occupied every province, every city, every point of vantage as a permanent addition to their territories and their power.

Extractions: When Americans reflect on the American Revolution of 1776, they often describe George Washington as its sword,Patrick Henry as its tongue and Thomas Jefferson as its pen. Jefferson expressed a sophisticated, radical vision of liberty with grace and eloquence. He affirmed that all people are entitled to liberty, regardless of what laws might say. If laws do not protect liberty, he declared, then those laws are illegitimate, and people should rebel against them. Although Jefferson did not originate this idea, he put it in a way that set fire the imagination of people round the world. Moreover, he articulated a doctrine for strictly limiting the power of government, which then was as it is today and indeed since the dawn of history, the most dangerous threat to liberty everywhere. Rt Hon Srinivasa Sastri in his foreword to the internationally circulated Woodrow Wilson's Message for the Eastern Nations wrote in 1920: 'Imagination fails to picture the wild delirium of joy with which President Wilson would have been welcomed in Asian Capitals. It would have been as though one of the great teachers of humanity, Christ or Buddha, had come back to his home, crowned with the glory that the centuries had brought him since he walked on the earth'. At the same time Lokamanya Tilak's pamphlet entitled 'Self-Determination For India' was warmly received by Wilson in a communication to Tilak dispatched from Paris.
Extractions: By the end of the 19th century support for classical liberalism international peace, free trade, limited government had been largely superseded by the forces of collectivism, militarism and nationalism. Nor was Wilhelmine Germany solely to blame. As Mr. Powell explains, dreams of "imperial glory" were widely shared. The strongest contestants in the growing arms race were the Entente powers, which spent far more than Germany and Austria-Hungary on the military.
