Woodrow Wilson was the 28th president of the United States, serving from 1913 to 1921 and the only Democrat to hold the presidency during the Progressive Era. He led the United States through the First World War after initial neutrality, and at the Paris Peace Conference championed the League of Nations and the Fourteen Points as the basis for the postwar peace, though the US Senate ultimately rejected American membership in the League. His domestic record includes the establishment of the Federal Reserve System, alongside a legacy complicated by his support for racial segregation within the federal government.
