En enero de 1918 expuso sus famosos catorce puntos para asegurar la paz en Europa y el mundo. Participó en la Conferencia de París y fue premio Nobel de la Paz en 1919 como impulsor de la Sociedad de Naciones.

Hijo del reverendo presbiteriano Joseph Ruggles Wilson y Janet Mary Woodrow. A pesar de padecer dislexia, consiguió graduarse en 1879 para entrar después en la Universidad de Virginia, donde estudió Derecho.

Frases de mundo de Woodrow Wilson

“Ya que el comercio ignora las fronteras nacionales y la industria insiste en tener el mundo como mercado, la bandera de su nación los debe seguir, y las puertas de las naciones cerradas deben ser derribadas… Las concesiones obtenidas por los financieros deben ser salvaguardadas por ministros de estado, aún cuando en el proceso las naciones poco dispuestas a ello vean ofendida su soberanía. Se deben obtener o implantar colonias para que ninguna esquina útil del mundo quede apartada o sin uso.”

Discursos
Original: «Since trade ignores national boundaries and the manufacturer insists on having the world as a market, the flag of his nation must follow him, and the doors of the nations which are closed must be battered down... Concessions obtained by financiers must be safeguarded by ministers of state, even if the sovereignty of unwilling nations be outraged in the process. Colonies must be obtained or planted, in order that no useful corner of the world may be overlooked or left unused».

“Dios creó al mundo y, para gobernarlo, a los Estados Unidos.”

“I always remember that America was established not to create wealth—though any nation must create wealth which is going to make an economic foundation for its life—but to realize a vision, to realize an ideal.
