Why did Allied leaders not share Wilson's vision of a peace without victory?
They want Germany to pay for WWI. Well it wasn't as simple as that. Wilson's idea of peace was very idealistic. Plus, the War had been fought on French soil, hundreds and thousands of homes were destroyed. America didn't have that problem. Wilson tried to create a peace with best interest of everyone but that doesn't work in Europe. You have to remember that Europe has a much much longer history than America, and there is a lot of vengeance in the air. For example, this is a very rare time where Britain and France were actually on the same side- and they weren't used to it. You know they once had a hundred year war? France had always hated Germany since they took Alsace-Lorraine, and it had suffered so much from the War-and they knew that Germany would try and attack as soon as they were powerful enough (which they sort of did- hence WWII) so Wilson's idea of peace without victory wouldn't exactly be satisfactory. Furthermore, one of Wilson's fourteen points was self-determination. There is no way that could work in Europe, where there are dozens of different dialects- you'd end up with tiny weak countries- like Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia- that are extremely vulnerable. Wilson had good intentions, but he was an idealist, and when he's stuck in a room with France and Britain (who are rarely on the same side in a war) trying to determine the Treaty of Versailles- it's not going to be very easy for him.

How did Woodard Wilson violated his neutrality?
Many believe he violated the neutrality of the United States by aiding the Allies of WWI by openly sending supplies, medicine and arms to the allied nations of WWI. Woodrow Wilson stated that this was simple trade, and to a certain extent it was, however the problem with this was that it openly showed that the United States favored the Allies over the Central Powers. The United States however never showed any act of war, or started any act of war. The argument of Germany and the other Central Powers was that by trading with the Allies and by sending arms that that was an act of war, yet, they were never physically attacked by the United States. The citizens of the US were attacked by German U boats, and the Zimmerman Telegram incited Mexico to attack the US. The problem was not with Wilson, but with the setup of WWI, the US was isolationist until the point of attack and pressure by Germany and the Central Powers, but this was somewhat started by Wilson sending aid to the Allies, though not at all a breach of neutrality, the US sent aid to Afghanistan during the USSR invasion, and did not breach neutrality according to UN and International Law, and China technically did not breach neutrality when sending arms to the Viet Cong during the war in Vietnam. Neutrality is greatly considered not attacking another nation, but one may wish that another wins or loses, according to foreign policy, to a certain extent.
Which president declared war in World War 1?
James Madison ( War of 1812) , James Polk (Mexican War).

In this way he hoped to prevent future wars.
How did Woodrow Wilson want to end the war?
Woodrow Wilson wanted all the parties involved in WW I to make concessions in his famous "Fourteen Points"-proposal. Germany was specifically asked to evacuate all territories it had occupied in Russia, Belgium and France and to return Alsace-Lorraine to France, which it had annexed after the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. Wilson however quickly discovered that the other Allies had no intention of making a single concession themselves and were only interested in settling old scores to their advantage and make Germany pay for the cost of the war.
