Nobel Peace Prize Winners, 1919 -
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson is usually considered to be one of our nation's three or four most successful presidents. He was without a doubt one of the the most remarkable figures in American history. Although he led the nation through a terrible war, he is best remembered as a man who devoted his life to making the world a more peaceful place for all humankind.

Thomas Woodrow Wilson was born around midnight on December 28, 1956. His mother named him after her father, but Wilson dropped the name Thomas after he graduated college. From very early on, religion and education were stressed in the Wilson household. Young Woodrow's earliest memories were of the election of Abraham Lincoln and the outbreak of the Civil War. The war forced many schools in the South to close, so Woodrow's father had to teach him at home. And every evening the Wilson's would gather to read the Bible together. In 1875, Wilson enrolled at the College of New Jersey, now called Princeton University. After graduation, Wilson went on to work as a lawyer, teacher, and politician. He served as the president of Princeton and in 1910 was elected governor of New Jersey. Wilson's strong belief in fairness, democracy, and clean government soon made him famous across the nation,and it helped him get elected President in 1912.

As President, Wilson tried desparately to keep the United States out of World War One. In fact, he was re-elected in 1916 with the campaign slogan: "Wilson – He Kept Us Out of War." But when Germany began attacking U.S. ships, Wilson was left with no choice but to enter the war. Wilson proved to be a great wartime leader, and when the war ended he set up a plan for lasting peace. But one of the key points of his plan – the creation of an international peacekeeping organization called the League of Nations – failed to gain support. Nevertheless, Wilson's efforts won him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919. About thirty years later, Wilson's dream came true with the creation of the United Nations. Sadly, President Wilson suffered a stroke later in 1919 and lived as an invalid until his death in 1924.

America in the 20th Century -
World War I (1914-1919)

Poster Text: At first, the United States tried to stay out of World War One. Then, when it entered, the governemt described the war effort as another kind of progressive crusade – an effort "To make the world safe for democracy. " But in a way, the war brought on end to the Progressive Era, as millions of Americans lost interest in politics and crusades for refom. Horrified by the bloodshed, many of them longed for a quieter, more private age.

1). World War One began in Europe in the summer of 1914, when a Serbian nationalist assissinated the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary. Armed to the teeth, and grouped in two great alliances, the most powerful nations of Europe all soon became involved in the conflict. Deadly modern weapons – the machine gun, the submarine, the tank, poison gas – and the misery of stalemate and trench warfare made this the worst war the world had yet experienced.

2). At first, President Woodrow Wilson promised that the United States would stay out of Europe's war. But most U.S. trade and billions in U.S. loans went to the Allies, especially Britain and France. And when German submarines sank the Lusitania, a British ship with 128 Americans on board, the country was outraged. Still, as the banner here suggest, most Americans continued to hope the U.S. could stay out of the conflict.
President Wilson was re-elected in 1916 on the slogan, "He kept us out of war." But expanded German submarine attacks finally led the U.S. to join the conflict. On April 17, 1917, President Wilson went before Congress to ask it to declare war on Germany.

3). The governemt mounted a huge effort to convince Americans the war was worth fighting. This included recruiting posters, news bulletins, movies, rallies, speakers, and campaigns to sell Liberty Bonds. About 53,500 U.S. soldiers died from the influenza epidemic that ravaged the world while America was at war. But U.S. losses were nothing compared with the total of 10 million soldiers and 20 million civilians who died worldwide in this terrible conflict.

4). While most Americans supported the war, many did not. Some continued to believe the United States had nothing to gain from involvement in Europe's battles. Socialist leader Eugene V. Debs went to prison for urging workers to "resist militarism".

5). President Wilson wanted World War One to be a "war to end all wars." And at the Paris peace conference of 1919, he was able to get other nations to agree to establish the League of Nations to resolve international onflicts peacefully. But many Americans were tired of worrying about the troubles of the world. On a grueling trip across the country to win support for the League, on exhausted Woodrow Wilson suffered a stroke. His wife Edith had to help him finish out his term. And in the meantime, Congress failed to agree to let our own nation join the League. An era of isolationism had begun.

Simplicissimus, a satirical German weekly magazine published 1896 - 1944, was usually in trouble with the establishment.

The first issue boldly proclaimed:
“No sword, nor helm, nor lance shall I now bear,
The deadly word’s my weapon, I declare.”

These two covers are “President Wilson Mounted on Morgan's Gold-Mountain” and “Sound Basis for the League of Nations”.

In 1913 Wilson signed into law the Federal Reserve Act which could adjust interest rates and the nation's money supply - clearly the established banking system was lobbying heavily for the privilige of sitting on the Federal Reserve Board - and thus the reference to banker J. P. Morgan.

The United States never joined the League of Nations despite the efforts of Wilson who suffered a debilitating stroke while campaigning for public support.

WOODROW WILSON BOOKS, VIDEO

Woodrow Wilson, 1914-1921: The American President Series - A comprehensive account of the rise and fall of one of the major shapers of American foreign policy. On the eve of his inauguration as President, Woodrow Wilson commented, “It would be the irony of fate if my administration had to deal chiefly with foreign affairs.” As America was drawn into the Great War in Europe, Wilson used his scholarship, his principles, and the political savvy of his advisers to overcome his ignorance of world affairs and lead the country out of isolationism. The product of his efforts—his vision of the United States as a nation uniquely suited for moral leadership by virtue of its democratic tradition—is a view of foreign policy that is still in place today.

Acclaimed historian and Pulitzer Prize finalist H. W. Brands offers a clear, well-informed, and timely account of Wilson’s unusual route to the White House, his campaign against corporate interests, his struggles with rivals at home and allies abroad, and his decline in popularity and health following the rejection by Congress of his League of Nations. Wilson emerges as a fascinating man of great oratorical power, depth of thought, and purity of intention. [book description]

Edith and Woodrow: The Wilson White House - Shortly after Ellen Wilson's death on the eve of World War I in 1914, President Wilson was swept off his feet by Edith Bolling Galt. They were married in December 1915, and, Levin shows, Edith Wilson set out immediately to consolidate her influence on him and tried to destroy his relationships with Colonel House, his closest friend and adviser, and with Joe Tumulty, his longtime secretary. Wilson resisted these efforts, but Edith was persistent and eventually succeeded.

With the quick ending of World War I following America's entry in 1918, Wilson left for the Paris Peace Conference, where he pushed for the establishment of the League of Nations. Congress, led by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, resisted the idea of an international body that would require one country to go to the defense of another and blocked ratification. Defiant, Wilson set out on a cross-country tour to convince the American people to support him. It was during the middle of this tour, in the fall of 1919, that he suffered a devastating stroke and was rushed back to Washington. Although there has always been controversy regarding Edith Wilson's role in the eighteen months remaining of Wilson's second term, it is clear now from newly released medical records that the stroke had totally incapacitated him. Citing this information and numerous specific memoranda, journals, and diaries, Levin makes a powerfully persuasive case that Mrs. Wilson all but singlehandedly ran the country during this time. Ten years in the making, Edith and Woodrow is a magnificent, dramatic, and deeply rewarding work of history.

Paris 1919: Six Months that Changed the World - Between January and July 1919, after “the war to end all wars,” men and women from around the world converged on Paris to shape the peace. Center stage, for the first time in history, was an American president, Woodrow Wilson, who with his Fourteen Points seemed to promise to so many people the fulfillment of their dreams. Stern, intransigent, impatient when it came to security concerns and wildly idealistic in his dream of a League of Nations that would resolve all future conflict peacefully, Wilson is only one of the larger-than-life characters who fill the pages of this extraordinary book. David Lloyd George, the gregarious and wily British prime minister, brought Winston Churchill and John Maynard Keynes. Lawrence of Arabia joined the Arab delegation. Ho Chi Minh, a kitchen assistant at the Ritz, submitted a petition for an independent Vietnam.

For six months, Paris was effectively the center of the world as the peacemakers carved up bankrupt empires and created new countries. This book brings to life the personalities, ideals, and prejudices of the men who shaped the settlement. They pushed Russia to the sidelines, alienated China, and dismissed the Arabs. They struggled with the problems of Kosovo, of the Kurds, and of a homeland for the Jews.

Paris 1919 offers a scintillating view of those dramatic and fateful days when much of the modern world was sketched out, when countries were created—Iraq, Yugoslavia, Israel—whose troubles haunt us still.

History Undercover: The Doomsday Flu, VHS - Over the course of just 120 terrifying days, an innocuous seasonal disease mutated into a monster that killed 22 million people around the world – one million more than World War I saw dead by bayonet, shell, gas and machine gun in four years. Scientists estimate that, had the disease maintained its rate of acceleration, it would have wiped out all humankind in months. This program tells the terrible story of the Spanish Flu, which during the final week of October 1918 alone killed 21,000 in America. The disease struck quickly: in minutes, a person feeling perfectly well would be overcome by crushing fatigue and nearly instantly felled by raging fever, a throat and mouth turned flaming red, paralyzed eye muscles, and lungs that hemorrhaged and filled with strangling pus. As this flu raged across Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas, it seemed to pick the young and the strong; in army camps, it was the farm boys who fell and not the wizened city dwellers. As this program reveals, the flue nearly brought the Great War to a halt, turning troop ships into death ships. City dwellers used face masks to avoid the virus; schools, churches and other public places were closed. If you coughed or spit in public, you could go to prison. Yet nothing helped; the disease mutated too swiftly.
