Most Americans thought Woodrow Wilson was a pious idealistic. Wilson saw himself as a destiny person, someone embedded with the duty of creating a whole new world based on two ideals: Democracy and Christianity. He tried to develop diplomatic policies, but as we can expect from this period they did not work. His ideas and diplomacy had little effect on the world, knowing the outbreak of the WWI. A war he was reluctant to maintain American neutrality, a neutrality that could not stand up during the sequence of events of WWI.
