Western Expansion & Reform (1829-1859)
Woodrow Wilson in 1912, just before assuming the presidency
Thomas Woodrow Wilson Was Born December 28, 1856 "He is one of the great presidents of American history," said Rabbi Stephen A. Wise of Woodrow Wilson. Born on December 28, 1856, in Staunton, Virginia, Thomas Woodrow Wilson started his career as a university professor. He went on to serve as president of Princeton University and then as governor of New Jersey in 1910. Two years later, he ran for president on the Democratic ticket and won. Wilson became the 28th president of the United States, serving two consecutive terms in the White House, from 1913 to 1921. During his time in office, Wilson faced many challenges at home and abroad, and face them he did.

#3 Woodrow Wilson's speech notes, in shorthand, for his "Fourteen Points" address, [8 January 1918]. (Woodrow Wilson Papers)
President Woodrow Wilson (1856-thoughts on topics. Her , the terms which
e believed should be ed as the basis for the peace treaty settling the First World War, which the United States had entered in April 1917 on the side of the Allies--Great Britain, France, Italy, and Russia. W posing his Fourteen Points address, delivered to Congress on 8 January erican people a clear set of war aims, which both appealed to their idealism and expressed his view that the country had entered the conflict as "a war for freedom and justice and self-government." Wilson's second audience was comprised of the peoples of the Central Powers--the enemy. While America had been in the war less than a year, by 1918 Europe was into the fourth year of what can only be described as a catastrophe. The war had produced military casualties on a scale that had been hitherto unimaginable. By 1918 a significant share of Europe's young men was dead or wounded, and the civilian populations were beginning to experience serious malnutrition, economic privation, and war weariness. Further, the Central Powers were dominated by three multinational empires (German Hohenzollern empire, Austro-Hungarian Hapsburg empire, and Ottoman Turkish empire), and as the war dragged on, many of these empires' subordinate nationalities grew increasingly restive and yearned for independence. With these factors in mind, Wilson sought to break the will of the Central Powers by promising a just peace and an end to the human slaughter and privations of war. He also exacerbated the growing ethnic unrest of the multinational empires by promising national independence and self-determination for all peoples involved in the conflict. The latter promise of national independence for the peoples of Central Europe helped to mobilize support for the American war effort among immigrant groups in America. Also contained in Wilson's fourteen points was a response to an initiative by the new Bolshevik regime, which had withdrawn Russia from the Allied war effort and sought peace with the Central Powers. To discredit continued participation in the war, the Bolsheviks had made public various secret agreements between the former Tsarist government and several Allied nations, which suggested that the Allies were chiefly cd T1
