complete good intentions as Wilson did. As a part of the First World War, Woodrow Wilson created a 14 point plan to spread democracy and he genuinely believed in this plain to be successful. However, when he presented this plan to others, they did not agree and they did not want to back up this plan fully. I believe if they had supported Woodrow’s plan more, than democracy could have been spread much more efficiently under these circumstances. After World War I Wilson was all for promoting…

living the past? Students at the Princeton University challenged to change the name of the building called “Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs” on their campus. The students believe that Woodrow Wilson 's past should be seen as a lack of leadership, poor attempt in uniting the nations, and harmed the United States as president instead of helping. Woodrow Wilson was known for one of the worst and most destructive president ever and I agree that he is. I believed that he…

President Woodrow Wilson once said, “It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war… but the right is more precious than peace and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried on our hearts” (Jackson). Germany 's lack of respect for Americas right of neutrality, the evidence for the Zimmermann telegraph, and Americas connection with the Allies led the U.S. to join the war the American people tried so hard to avoid (Sloan 2). Americas goal was to save the world…

ranking the “progressiveness” of these men, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson, it is necessary to look at their accomplishments in two fields. These fields of domestic factors pertaining to social, political, and economic reforms; as well as foreign affairs made up of military and diplomatic factors. Before exploring the progressive merits of the Presidents of the years 1901-1921,…

Germany also led to World War Two. The League of Nations was created by Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States, following the end of World War One in 1920 during the Paris Peace Conference. The League was created from Woodrow Wilson 's Fourteen Points, which were designed to maintain world peace and avoidance of all future wars. The United States, however, did not join the League of Nations, despite Woodrow Wilson 's wishes to do so. The League also made many poor decisions and did…

Starving refugees, tourists caught in the beginning of a war, and a badly timed depression gave Herbert Hoover the best and worst face in the eyes on the world. A small town boy made it on his own fortune, but what is the good in being rich while others are in need? Hoover realized all of the help he could give and decided to take action. With his courageous acts of good to the people in need, Herbert Hoover was and will forever be a well known humanitarian. Herbert Clark Hoover was born on…

During World War I (July 28, 1914- November 11, 1918) the United States made it its mission to not get involved. They were going to abide by a neutrality acts. These acts were used so that the United States and other countries would not overstep boundaries causing the two to feud with each other. Sadly, things did not go according to plan when Germany decided to take matters into their own hands. Many of these acts were broken and as a result the United States entered the war. While the breaking…

Great Presidents of the Progressive Era were Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Lasting from 1985 to 1920, the Progressive movement in America endeavored to alter corruption in government, enhance social reform, and lessen corporate power (597). Each President fulfilled Progressive goals in part by enacting regulations, promoting social efficiency, restricting abuse of power and foreign influence (599). Roosevelt and Wilson resonated the underlying theme of the Progressive Era by overcoming…

The most meaningful part of this book, The River of Doubt, I believe is when Theodore Roosevelt decided to go on the journey to the Amazon. This is the most meaningful part to me because it shows how you should never give up and just because you can’t get one thing that you want doesn’t mean you can’t reach a different goal. After Roosevelt lost the presidential election in 1912 he set his eyes on one of his other passions, adventure. I believe that the purpose of this book was to show that…

“Between Theodore Roosevelt’s Square Deal and Woodrow Wilson’s New Freedom domestic programs, which was more ‘progressive’?”. Theodore Roosevelt’s Square Deal was more progressive compared to Woodrow Wilson’s New Freedom domestic program. Meaning of Progressivism is to bring rapid changes in life of Americans in the area of –industrialization, urbanization and immigration where there was complete injustice and chaos. The Progressive Era of 1890-1920, brought remarkable revolution…
