President Woodrow Wilson considered the establishment of the League of Nations to be the most important of his Fourteen Points. He believed that a global organization dedicated to maintaining peace and preventing future conflicts was essential for ensuring lasting stability after World War I. Wilson argued that collective security through the League would promote diplomacy and cooperation among nations, reducing the likelihood of war. This vision for a cooperative international framework was foundational to his broader goals of fostering democracy and self-determination.

League of Nations

Woodrow Wilson's background as a Southern Democrat and his adherence to racial segregation limited his effectiveness in advancing progressive reforms, particularly in addressing civil rights. His academic perspective, rooted in idealism, often clashed with the more pragmatic demands of the progressive movement. Additionally, his focus on international issues, particularly during World War I, diverted attention from domestic reforms that could have furthered progressive goals. These factors combined to restrict his ability to fully embrace and implement the broader progressive agenda.

His idea would basically

limit the abuses of economic power by large corporations (but not regulate)

Woodrow Wilson proposed the League of Nations as part of his Fourteen Points, envisioning it as an international organization aimed at fostering cooperation and preventing future conflicts. The League sought to provide a platform for dialogue among nations, promote disarmament, and enforce collective security through mutual defense agreements. Wilson believed that by establishing a system of collective security and addressing the root causes of war, nations could work together to ensure lasting peace. However, the League ultimately faced challenges, including the non-participation of the United States and the inability to prevent aggression, leading to its eventual ineffectiveness.
