Woodrow Wilson
Raised during the time of civil war, Thomas Woodrow Wilson was no stranger to the world of political disorder. He was a brilliant and a passionate man, who desired to become a professor at the Princeton University. Wilson achieved this dream when he secured a Ph.D. in political science and history and attained a professorship position at the university in 1890. Today, the Princeton University owes its prestigious reputation to Wilson's hard work and dedication toward the school.
On March 4, 1913, Woodrow Wilson was elected as the president of the United States. It was during this period that the women's suffrage movement was gaining popularity. Initially, Wilson was unsure of the cause put forward by the nation's women. However, on seeing the struggle that the women underwent to support their cause, Wilson too decided in favor of the women's right to vote. He became a true knight in shining armor when he publicly supported the women's suffrage movement.
In 1914, when World War I (WWI) began, Wilson played the role of Yoda and took the wise decision to keep away from the war. However, the Germans did not appreciate this choice. The Germans ignored the U.S.'s decision to stay out of the war and sank a number of American ships. As a result, Wilson bore the Atlantean Shoulders and entered the war in 1917. Wilson's brave decision led to the end of WWI in 1918, and the Americans were deemed as "heroes."
Wilson not only ensured the end of WWI, but also strived to improve the conditions of his own nation. Through the Underwood-Simmons Act, he reduced taxes. This helped small and local businesses grow. Furthermore, he made access to loans easier and supported peaceful labor unions. Woodrow Wilson truly was the King Arthur of the United States.
