222 Words1 Page

While in Paris after the Great War, Wilson claimed that the United Sates’ involvement was “…not merely to win a war, but to win a cause…to lead the world on the way of liberty” (Foner 748-749).

With Wilson’s focus on the “equality of nations” and “self-determination”, his ideas spread around the globe. With the belief that countries should be able to control itself in mind, minorities became motivated to begin the fight for their freedoms and independence. From the rubble of the Austro-Hungarian

    Foreign Policy, 1890-1920s”, n.d.). These progressives, such as Roosevelt and Wilson, saw no conflicts in this approach to imperialism as it was a way to improve, uplift, and reform our government’s ways here at home and all around the world. Other Progressives opposed this foreign intervention and imperialism as they feared it would reduce domestic and social reform here at home and within the Republican Party. Democratic President Wilson followed the same path for the most part as Republican Roosevelt. He did have greater reservations in all foreign interventions; yet, he gladly intervened in the Mexican Revolution as well as used military intervention in Haiti and the Dominican Republic due to the possible German

When Wilson arrived in Canada, it was lucky and easy for him to find a job because there was a sign about “English Need not Apply” (p.12) and he is a Scottish.

The surplus could barely feed him after he sent the money back to his family. Although life was harsh in an unknown area, “he felt disconnected from the old world [Scotland] and everyone [his family, his friends and the scandal] in it” (p.18).

    I am inspired by the work of Woodrow Wilson, our 28th President. Although he was a man of his time and thus in his leadership showed flashes of racism and sexism, I believe that Wilson was a man of his country and of ideals. His tour to promote the League of Nations after World War One stands out to me as an act of patriotism and moral conviction. Toward the end of World War I, it seemed apparent that the Allied Powers would triumph. President Wilson was allotted the lofty responsibility of negotiating an end to the conflict with the enemy Central Powers.

So it was with his greatest achievement, the Fourteen Points—and most especially—the League of Nations to which he committed his life after 1918-1919. Yet, in an era in which the Congress fiercely guarded its war powers, the Senate, was under thee powerful Republican influence. The failure of the US in joining the League is attributable to the power of both the liberal and conservative opposition.
