Woodrow Wilson, a politician and statesman of the United States of America, was born in Staunton, Virginia (USA). He was one of the leaders of the Democratic Party and served as President of the United States during the years 1913–1921. In 1913, he formulated his doctrine on international order, the basis of which was universal rights rather than the balance of power. In 1917, he involved the United States in World War I. In 1918, he presented the famous 14 points, which outlined the principles for establishing world peace. After World War I, he participated in the Peace Conference in Versailles and later proposed the creation of the League of Nations (1919). The American Senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles and the United States’ involvement in the League of Nations. President Wilson rejected the compromise of January 1920 for the division of Albania, reached between the British, French, and Italian prime ministers. As a result of President Wilson’s opposition, the British and French representatives announced on February 26, 1920, that they were abandoning this initiative. Wilson was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919. He passed away in Washington, D.C. (USA), in 1924. (In the photo: Udro Wilson)
