Who is Woodrow Wilson?

Woodrow Wilson was the 28th President of the United States. He was in the office for two terms, from 1913 to 1921. He led America during the World War I, played a major role in the conclusion of the Treaty of Versailles and was instrumental in the formation of the League of Nations. Woodrow Wilson was born on December 28, 1856, in Staunton, Virginia.  During his term as President, American Congress passed several progressive legislation. These include the Federal Reserve Act, Federal Trade Commission Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act and the Adamson Act. After the culmination of World War I, he was instrumental in the formation of the League of Nations, a multilateral organization formed to ensure world peace. Woodrow Wilson was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 1919, in recognition of his efforts in the formation of the League of Nations. After the conclusion of the war, Wilson proposed the “Fourteen Points” as the basis for the peace treaty at Versailles; the last point was the creation of a League of Nations to ensure world peace. League of Nations was a precursor to the present United Nations Organisation and its main purpose was to ensure that no such war as World War I, happens in the future.
