Thomas Woodrow Wilson, the twenty-fourth President of the United States, was an American educator and politician. Wilson taught history and political science at Bryn Mawr College, Wesleyan College, and Princeton University, serving as President of Princeton from 1902 to 1910. He entered politics and became the Democratic Governor of New Jersey in 1911, where he earned a reputation as a political reformer. Wilson was elected President of the United States and served from 1913 to 1921. He strove to maintain American neutrality during World War I, but the German decision to resume unrestricted submarine warfare in 1917 forced Wilson to ask Congress for a declaration of war. Wilson framed the Fourteen Points, a liberal document, as the basis for the Allied war aims in 1918, which included the establishment of an international organization to promote peaceful relations between nations. He led the American delegation to the Versailles Peace Conference and worked strenuously for the creation of the Leagu of Nations. Although Wilson acknowledged that the Versailles Peace Treaty was a flawed instrument, he believed the League would redress any wrongs and sought to win Senate support for the treaty. As a result of partisan politics and the refusal of both sides to reach a compromise, the Senate rejected the Versailles Peace Treaty and the United States did not become a member of the League. Wilson was incapacitated by a stroke in 1919, but received the Nobel Peace Prize. He died in Washington, DC on February 3, 1924.
