1856. Woodlon Wilson was born

160 years ago, on December 28, 1856, Woodro Wilson, American jurist and statesman, US President in 1913-1921 from the Democratic Party was born. Wilson spent his election campaign of 1916 under the slogan “He saved us from the war”, but already in early April 1917, America entered the First World War on the side of the Entente.

In 1919, Wilson received the Nobel Prize of the World "for bringing the fundamental law of humanity to modern international politics." Thus, its role was evaluated in the creation of a post -war world order based on the League of Nations. But in his homeland, this merit of the president did not receive recognition: the US Senate refused to ratify the Versailles Peace Treaty.
