汤玛士.伍德罗.威尔逊 (Thomas
Woodrow Wilson) 出生
1856年12月28日
在外交政策之上,威尔逊也面临了自亚伯拉罕.林肯总统之后最严厉的挑战。美国究竟是否要投入第一次世界大战的问题,严格检验了威尔逊的领导能力。一开始,威尔逊其实不愿意派兵到海外参加战争,但是他却感受到越来越大的压力。在1917年4月6日,美国对德国宣战。不到一年的时间,在1918年的1月8日,威尔逊提出了有名的「十四点原则」 (Fourteen
Points) 演说,向全世界提出了成立「国际联盟」 (League
of Nations) 的构想。这个国际组织的目的是在维持世界和平。威尔逊不屈不挠地推动这个构想,而因为美国军队的添加,战争也在1918年提早退出了。
In foreign policy, Wilson faced a greater challenge than any president since Abraham Lincoln. Deciding whether or not to involve the U.S. in World War I severely tested his leadership. Initially reluctant to send soldiers overseas, Wilson met increased pressure. On April 6, 1917, the United States went to war with Germany. Less than a year later, on January 8, 1918, Wilson made his famous "Fourteen Points" address, introducing the idea of a League of Nations. The purpose of the international organization was to preserve peace. Wilson promoted his plan tirelessly, as U.S. troops contributed to an earlier than expected cease-fire in 1918.
