What is the summary for the best school year ever?
The Herdsman kids are the outlaws of Woodrow Wilson Elementary School. They smoke cigars, lie, and set things to fire-and that's only when they bother to come to school. If anything goes wrong, you can be sure there's a Herdsman behind it.
Then a school project forces the students to think of compliments for their classmates--all of them. Is it possible that behind their outrageous pranks there might be something good about this crazy clan after all?

Why did some members of congress oppose joining the league of nations after World War 1?
Because they did not want to get involved in world affairs and be drawn into another European war, they sought an isolationist policy.
Senator William E. Borah was considered America's greatest orator of the 20th Century. Also known as the "Lion of Idaho" and "The Great Opposer", Borah was opposed to the League of Nations because of loss of national sovereignty, freedom of all people (including Americans) around the world, and the making of continuous war in the name of peace.
From Borah's November 19, 1919 speech in the Senate:
"...It imperils what I conceive to be the underlying, the very first principles of the Republic. It is in conflict with the right of our people to govern themselves free from all restraint, legal or moral, of foreign powers..."
"...We may become one of the four dictators of the world, but we shall no longer be master of our own spirit. And what shall it profit us as a nation if we shall go forth to the dominion of the earth and share with others the glory of world control and lose that fine sense of confidence in the people, the soul of democracy..."
"...When this league, this combination, is formed four great powers representing the dominant people will rule one-half of the inhabitants of the globe as subject peoples--rule by force, and we shall be a party to the rule of force. There is no other way you can keep people in subjection. You must either give them independence, recognize their rights as nations to live their own life and to set up their own form of government, or you must deny them these things by force. That is the scheme, the methods proposed by the league..."
"...Peace upon any other basis than national independence, peace purchased at the cost of any part of our national sovereignty, is fit only for slaves, and even when purchased at such a price it is a delusion, for it cannot last..."
"...But your treaty does not mean peace--far very far from it. If we judge the future by the past it means war. Is there any guaranty of peace other than the guaranty which comes of the control of the war making power by the people? Yet what great rule of democracy does the treaty leave un-assailed? The people in whose keeping alone you can safely lodge the power of peace or war nowhere, at no time and in no place, have any voice in this scheme for world peace. Autocracy which has bathed the world in blood for centuries reigns supreme. Democracy is everywhere excluded. This, you say, means peace..."
Senators that wanted to become the next president of the U.S. believed that the triumph would hurt their campaign chances.
Barack Obama moved away from prevention and preemption to the foreign policy tools of negotiation and diplomacy. A key concept underlying President George W. Bush's National Security Strategy (NSS), issued 20 September 2002, was that of "preemption," defined as "preemptive and preventive action."
What might be one of Wilson's first issues to address as president?
According to his presidential library, Woodrow Wilson took office in early March 1913 (inauguration day was in March back then), and perhaps his first official act was to extend recognition to the new Republic of China. He did that on May 2, 1913. As for the issues he had to address in 1913, one was political instability in Mexico, and another was the need to revise the tariffs and re-impose an income tax. I enclose a link to further explanations of these issues.
Did President Hoover precede Woodrow Wilson?
No. Wilson was the 28th president while Hoover was the 31st president.
Why was it Important to have peace without Victory?
It is important because only a peace without a valiant winner and a humiliated loser would last. If there is a loser who is to blame, then the loser would want to seek revenge later on. It is basically a saying in which it describes how to have an everlasting peace.
The 14 points by president Wilson served as a counter message to the?
The fourteen points were also an answer to the new Bolshevik Government in Russia. (Brinkley 12th Edition).
Were Woodrow Wilson's fourteen points realistic goals at that moment in history?
I believe that they were realistic because he was just doing the best he could. When people try hard it doesn't matter if you fail or succeed its just if you try your best. For example, when Obama ran for president he succeeded therefore suggesting the right to bare arm in polygamy. All in all Wilson is just being himself and being an american. God bless. p.s my presidents black ;)
