August Wilson

A revolutionary, but flawed man, President Woodrow Wilson blamed Europe’s fragile infrastructure on its dependence on a balance of power, and so he proposed his Fourteen Points at the Paris Peace Conference and with it the groundworks for an effective peace with the creation of a League of Nations. The League would serve as an international parliamentary system responsible for the maintenance of peace through a system of collective security, whereby external aggression against a member nation…

Progressivism movement gave a social change throughout the nation in the late 1890’s. The fear of big business and corrupted government gave a motive to improve American’s living. It was utilized to cure social issues from industrialization and urbanization and corruptions. In the municipal level the reforms had a system of home rule, by improving society which community services, utilities, public health program, workplace conditions, and tenement rules. On state level reforms involved mayors,…

first of many erroneous mistakes made by Wilson in his attempts to have the Treaty of Versailles ratified by Congress. Desperate for retention of a Democratic majority in legislation in preparation for the Paris Peace Conference, Wilson went against the popular notion that “politics stops at the water’s edge” in 1918 when he called out the Republican party in speech in an effort to win votes for the Democratic party in the upcoming midterm election. Wilson distastefully blamed the Republicans in…

In Woodrow Wilson’s war message of 1917, Wilson addresses to Congress the recent war events going on with Germany. His goal of the speech is to urge Congress to declare war on Germany. Throughout the speech his main points cover how Germany has been attacking America, ways to end the war, and how Russia is also a threat to America. In the structure of the speech, Wilson provides audience with evidence of attacks and ways to resolve the situation, which helps him convince the audience that the…

the league of Nations, self-determination and the mandate system. In today's discussion I will be talking about Wilson's 14 points, that was proposed after the war. Wilson's 14 points were 14 goals of the United States, proposed by President Woodrow Wilson in the peace negotiations after World War I. These principles were outlined in a speech in 1918 to Congress. The 14 points consisted of recommendations like; open covenants or peace, absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas in peace and…

years ago, President Wilson addressed a joint-session of Congress and set forth the fourteen points which would severely impact the settlement of the First World War. The fundamental similarity surrounding these points is the notion of individual freedom. It is the freedom of people; their movement, government, and self-determination. The fundamental belief in freedom and democracy has guided American foreign policy and intervention since 1918. Universal application by Wilson and his successors…

On April 2nd, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson stood before Congress and issued a declaration of war against Germany. "The world must be made safe for democracy," he stated. The black press used Wilson's declaration to frame the war as a struggle for African American civil rights. Black political leaders believed that if they fought for the war effort, the government would have no choice but to reward them with greater civil rights. Over one million African Americans responded to their draft…

for peace and it was Thomas Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States, served from 1913 to 1921 and was the leader of the Progressive Movement. Wilson, joined with The Inquiry, made up a list of fourteen points of peace that he recommended to other countries which in due time lead to the end of World War I and the commencement of the League of Nations. “It is that the world be made fit and safe to live in; and particularly that…

for not only America but also the world. President Taft used business deals to extend America’s sphere of influence in his Dollar Diplomacy, and this diplomacy started occupying Nicaragua in 1912, where the US army remained for 21 years. President Wilson saw that Roosevelt and Taft’s ways were not exactly the most fair, and he worked to fix that. He saw his duty of expanding American economic influence as a duty to the world. Even though he was not always as forceful as Roosevelt or Taft in…
