  • Thomas Woodrow Wilson (December 28, 1856—February 3, 1924), was the twenty-eighth President of the United States. A leading intellectual of the Progressive Era, he served as President of Princeton University and then became the Governor of New Jersey in 1910. With Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft dividing the Republican Party vote, Wilson was elected President as a Democrat in 1912. He proved highly successful in leading a Democratic Congress to pass major legislation that included the Federal Trade Commission, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Underwood Tariff, the Federal Farm Loan Act and most notably the Federal Reserve System. Narrowly re-elected in 1916, his second term centered on World War I. He tried to maintain U.S. neutrality, but when the German Empire began unrestricted submarine warfare, he wrote several admonishing notes to Germany, and in April 1917 asked Congress to declare war on the Central Powers. He focused on diplomacy and financial considerations, leaving the waging of the war primarily in the hands of the military establishment. On the home front, he began the first effective draft in 1917, raised billions in war funding through Liberty Bonds, imposed an income tax, enacted the first federal drug prohibition, set up the War Industries Board, promoted labor union growth, supervised agriculture and food production through the Lever Act, took over control of the railroads, and suppressed anti-war movements. He paid surprisingly little attention to military affairs, but provided the funding and food supplies that helped the Americans in the war and hastened Allied victory in 1918.In the late stages of the war, Wilson took personal control of negotiations with Germany, including the armistice. He issued his Fourteen Points, his view of a post-war world that could avoid another terrible conflict. He was the first President to leave the United States while still in office, going to Paris in 1919 to create the League of Nations and shape the Treaty of Versailles, with special attention on creating new nations out of defunct empires. Largely for his efforts to form the League, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919. Wilson collapsed with a debilitating stroke in 1919, as the home front saw massive strikes and race riots, and wartime prosperity turn into postwar depression. He refused to compromise with the Republicans who controlled Congress after 1918, effectively destroying any chance for ratification of the Versailles Treaty. The League of Nations was established anyway, but the United States never joined. Wilson's idealistic internationalism, calling for the United States to enter the world arena to fight for democracy, progressiveness, and liberalism, has been a highly controversial position in American foreign policy, serving as a model for "idealists" to emulate or "realists" to reject for the following century.

Известен также как историк и политолог. Будучи кандидатом от Демократической партии, он был избран губернатором штата Нью-Джерси в 1910 году, а в 1912 - президентом США, когда голоса сторонников республиканцев раскололись между Теодором Рузвельтом и Уильям Тафтом. Вильсон был переизбран в 1916. Второй срок его президенства был отмечен вступлением США в Первую мировую войну и активными дипломатическими усилиями президента по мирному урегулированию, выраженными в «14 пунктах». Лауреат Нобелевской премии мира 1919, присуждённой ему за миротворческие усилия. Вильсон стал первым президентом США, посетившим с официальным визитом Европу, участвуя в работе Парижской мирной конференции. Предложения Вильсона были положены в основу Версальского договора. Вильсон был одним из инциаторов создания Лиги Наций, однако Сенат США отказал во вступлении в эту организацию. (ru)

  • Thomas Woodrow Wilson (n. 28 de diciembre de 1856 - † 3 de febrero de 1924) fue el vigésimo octavo Presidente de los Estados Unidos. Llevó a cabo una política exterior intervencionista en Iberoamérica y neutral en la Gran Guerra hasta 1917. Su entrada en el bando aliado inclinó la victoria de este lado. En enero de 1918 expuso sus famosos catorce puntos. Participó en la Conferencia de París y fue premio Nobel de la Paz en 1919. Hijo del reverendo presbiteriano Joseph Ruggles Wilson y Janet Mary Woodrow. A pesar de padecer dislexia, consiguió graduarse en 1879 para entrar después en la Universidad de Virginia, donde estudió Derecho. En enero de 1882, Wilson abrió un bufete de abogados en Atlanta, aunque esta experiencia no fue satisfactoria para él, teniendo en mente una futura carrera política. Así pues volvió a la Universidad para conseguir un Doctorado en Ciencias políticas por la Universidad Johns Hopkins. En 1902 fue escogido Presidente de la Universidad de Princeton, cargo que desarrolló hasta 1910. (es)

  • Thomas Woodrow Wilson (Staunton, Virgínia, 28 de dezembro de 1856 – Washington, DC, 3 de fevereiro de 1924) foi eleito presidente dos Estados Unidos da América por duas vezes seguidas, ficando no cargo de 1912 a 1921. Era membro do Partido Democrata, tendo também sido reitor da Universidade de Princeton e laureado do Prêmio Nobel da Paz em 1919. Woodrow Wilson é considerado um pai do idealismo, lutou por uma Alemanha livre e com condições para um desenvolvimento econômico e democrático. Principal impulsionador da Sociedade das Nações, projeto que só não falhou por completo porque muitas das estruturas da SDN foram utilizadas futuramente na ONU e pelo fato de ter resolvido alguns pequenos conflitos entre nações na Europa e na América do Sul, tudo fez para que os políticos se tornassem sensíveis às populações que representavam, mostrando que estas são as mais prejudicadas com a guerra, e que as massas deviam ter uma opinião quanto à política externa do seu país (chamava mesmo inconstitucionais muitas das medidas tomadas pelos regimes da época). O fracasso da SDN está intimamente ligado com o facto dos EUA não terem aderido, apenas parcial e sucessivamente, à organização. (pt)

  • Thomas Woodrow Wilson, (28. december 1856 – 3. februar 1924), USA's 28. præsident . I 1918 fremlagde han en 14-punkts fredsplan for Europa. Bl.a. stod der, at nationale mindretal skulle have selvbestemmelsesret m.h.t. hvilken stat, de ville tilhøre. Hermed knæsatte Wilson princippet om sammenfald mellem stat og nation, hvilket blev ødelæggende for de multinationale imperier heriblandt Østrig-Ungarn og bidrog til mange overgreb på mindretalsgrupper i det etnisk blandede Østeuropa og på Balkan. Wilson modtog Nobels Fredspris i 1919 for sin indsats for at danne Folkeforbundet. Men det lykkedes dog ikke for ham at overtale Senatet til at tilslutte sig idéen. (da)
