"An Affair of Honor: Woodrow Wilson and the Occupation of Veracruz
by Robert E. Quirk
An Affair of Honor retains its freshness after thirty years precisely because it does not pretend to be objective history. Scholarly though it is, the book reads sometimes like a journalistic account of the American occupation of Veracruz, and sometimes like an essay on the foundations of American foreign policy in this century. From beginning to end, the book is a story of men and their sympathies, rather than a careful history of the events in which those men participated.
Excoriating Woodrow Wilson, one of the presidents most closely identified with liberalism, Quirk warns of the danger of diplomacy that is ..."

Abstract
This paper is an in-depth analysis of American policy, as set by President Woodrow Wilson during World War I. This paper examines the make-up of the American population at the time and Wilson's pledge that the U.S. would remain neutral at all costs. Germany's behavior during war, its brutality, atrocities and constant violations of the international rules of warfare are presented in order to understand some of the factors that influenced Wilson's decision to enter the war as a full participant. The author examines Woodrow Wilson the man, his belief system and the influences that affected his decisions, both personal and political. The paper also examines the different policy options that the American president was advised to take and how the America's relationship with Britain, both as a trading and political partner, affected his decision to join the allies fight against German aggression. The discussion of policy between the different government agencies in the United States, American public opinion and the influence of the media on Wilson's conduct of the war are also examined in detail.
From the Paper
"Wilson was willing to go to war, to sacrifice countless lives, for the sake of imposing on the world a new order, with his own country at the helm. How this differs significantly from a war of aggression is hard to say. His talk of peace was always of a peace ruled by America, a factor which repeatedly drove Britain and France from the table, and surely would have alienated Germany as well had the talks gotten underway. In the end, he chose to prepare for and send America to war over the religious ideals of his democratic new order, rather than act according to his nation?s stated doctrines of neutrality."

The Tragedy of Woodrow Wilson, 2006.

Abstract
This paper draws a psychological profile of President Woodrow Wilson and then uses the profile to explain why Wilson was ultimately responsible for the failure of the League of Nations even though he was also the League's greatest champion. The paper suggests that Wilson's belief in his God-like infallibility made it impossible for him to see the flaws in the League of Nations and prevented him from listening to the legitimate reservations about the League expressed by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. The paper concludes that the Covenant of the League of Nations was not ratified because of Woodrow Wilson's inflexible stand on what he considered the greatest document in human history.
From the Paper
"As Woodrow Wilson sailed home from Europe aboard the George Washington steamship, he held in his hands the Treaty of Versailles, and, attached to it, the Covenant of the League of Nations. His vision was a simple one: nations united, people from across the globe brought together under a banner of peace and goodwill. His League of Nations would ensure a lasting peace for generations to come and prevent the atrocities of World War I from ever occurring again. His motives seemed to be altruistic. The nations of Europe had supported Wilson and his idea. But why did the United States, Wilson's own country, refuse to join? The answer lies in its creator. Woodrow Wilson was responsible for failure of the United States to join the League of Nations."

Woodrow Wilson's "The Study of Administration", 2008.

Abstract
This paper critically analyzes the administration policies and ideas set forth in an essay by President Woodrow Wilson entitled "The Study of Administration". The paper describes Wilson's thoughts about using ministrant (function of the government) and constituent ideas to represent political and apolitical branches respectively and relates that constituent functions were given very important tasks, such as the protection of liberty, life, and property, while ministrant functions were necessary for advancing societal interests. The paper concludes that Woodrow Wilson attempted to outline a coherent and somewhat revolutionary idea about public administration and politics and how each should be separate, yet work together.
From the Paper
"Wilson was determined to make reforms and labeled areas that were functions of the government "ministrant" and those that were not, or were apolitical, he labeled "constituent" (Clements 320). These constituent functions were given very important tasks, such as the protection of liberty, life, and property, while ministrant functions were necessary for advancing the societal interests (320). Although these labels appear to be incorrectly given as ministrant areas were given what really appeared to be political functions such as labor regulation, communications, transportation maintenance, education, and conservation efforts."

Woodrow Wilson?s 14 Points and the Women's Peace Movement, 2003.

Abstract
The paper discusses how, in 1915, The Hague convention represented women from 22 different countries with the main focus of achieving peace. It examines how this process for peace was deemed feasible by a series of resolutions established by the Women?s Peace Congress and how these resolutions focused on many key ideas that the Women?s Peace Congress believed could create world peace. It demonstrates the irony of President Woodrow Wilson's refusal to lead the international mediation and how many of the principles established at the Women?s Peace Congress in The Hague, were echoed with the publication of Woodrow Wilson?s 14 Points, which earned him much international praise, three years later.
From the Paper
"The principle for autonomy of nations is demonstrated in both the 14 points and the Resolutions adopted at Hague as well. The Women?s Peace Congress was much broader as they simply stated, ?autonomy and a democratic parliament should not be refused to any people (Addams, 3).? Wilson singled out the exact countries, ?the other nationalities which are now under Turkish rule should be assured an undoubted security of life and an absolutely unmolested opportunity of autonomous development.? Wilson also requested the autonomy of the peoples of Austria Hungary, Rumania, Serbia, Montenegro, and Poland. The Women?s Peace Congress simply expressed the belief that countries should be allowed autonomy, while Wilson?s 14 Points rather put them into play in the specific nations that he felt were most important."

Abstract
This paper examines Cooper's opinion that argues that Woodrow Wilson felt that it was his responsibility to prevent the United States from participating in the First World War. The paper looks at statements made by Wilson which show his true opinion and briefly cites arguments that he put forward against joining WWI.
From the Paper
"Wilson understood the realities of war and hoped that the United States could remain neutral. He felt that a war could tear the U.S. apart. War would divide the American people and result in countless deaths. In fact, Wilson felt that death and destruction were too large a price to pay for a victory in war."

WWI Speeches: President Woodrow Wilson and Eugene Debs, 2002.
This paper presents two opposing points of view about America?s entry into WWI. One, by President Woodrow Wilson, was heralded and the other, by labor agitator Eugene Debs, who was imprisoned because of the speech.

Abstract
This paper discusses that both President Woodrow Wilson and labor agitator Eugene Debs made important speeches as WWI began. However, the law was not as tolerant of free speech then as it is today. The paper reports that Wilson, in his speech to Congress, emphasized that he was not seeking revenge even though Germany was attacking American ships, but rather saw America's entry into the war as a means of defense; armed neutrality was no longer possible. The author explains that Eugene Debs, Socialist Party candidate for president, made his speech to a group of working people, opposing the war and claimed it was just one more example of the way the working class is exploited by the capitalist. He was imprisoned for this speech.
From the Paper
"Wilson is also clear about what this move will involve--the need for funding, the need to gather large numbers of troops, the need to organize the resources of the country, the need to get the people to support the war, and so on. He is taking the first step by gaining the support of Congress, after which he and members of Congress will have to garner support from the public. Wilson goes into other aspects of his decision that he believes are important, such as indicating that the war is with the leaders of Germany and not the German people, that the primary concern is for peace, and that this is the beginning of a new age. Interestingly, he also points to the Russian Revolution, then only a few weeks old, as evidence of a new democratic spirit, showing either that the Russian Revolution changed directions after this or that Wilson misperceived what was taking place there."

Abstract
An essay describing the relationship of Woodrow Wilson's 14 Points to justice. It discusses his plans for future relations with several European countries after the war including: Italy and Germany. It states Wilson?s utopia-like plan of restructure and examines what he suggests in order to achieve this utopia. In conclusion, the president's speech portrays his devotion to people, justice and equality and he presented this theme in all of the points.
From the Paper
"In discussing how Woodrow Wilson?s Fourteen Points define justice, I feel they strongly do to a strong degree. Justice is defined as ?righteousness? or what is ?morally right and fair.? I will concentrate on a theme I feel was one of Wilson?s strongest qualities: he was a man of equality. At the close of his famous speech, Wilson states ?It is the principle of justice to all peoples and nationalities, and their right to live on equal terms of liberty and safely with one another, whether they be strong or weak.? Although some aspects of Wilson?s program may seem unfathomable, I believe they are, nevertheless, in the best intention of the people. Justice is equality in my mind."

"Woodrow Wilson was the Democratic ?dark horse? candidate in the election of 1912. The two heavy-weights, Roosevelt and Taft, split the Republican Party for a Democratic win. Wilson went on to play a major role in the United States participation in more world affairs during his presidency. He came to be known as the "prophet of peace" though today he is still a controversial figure in the history of the United States. (Dinkins 2002)"

From the Paper
"This study will examine the relationships of Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson to the Progressive Era and will compare the attitudes of the two administrations toward that era.
The Progressive Movement, one of several progressive periods of the last century, extended from about 1900 to 1914 and represented a political and economic program which, in general, aimed at increasing the role of the people in government, and decreasing the role of establishment forces. The Progressive Movement was largely reform-based, but it is too simple to say that it was simply liberal or populist. Political considerations helped shape different areas of the progressive approach to reform, and there are clear differences between the progressivism of Roosevelt and Wilson."

Wilson's Ability in Maintaining Peace, 2004.
A look at whether Woodrow Wilson possessed the will to maintain peace after WWI.

Abstract
Woodrow Wilson did not possess the will to maintain peace after the Great War. The writer asserts that there were three ways in which Wilson contributed to the build-up of tensions before WWII. First was Wilson?s failure in responding to the members of the Peace Accords in relation to the redrawing of German boundaries; his influence in tearing away predominantly German areas resulted in the planting of seeds for future war. The second reason that Wilson could not maintain peace was his inability to remove himself from partisan politics in America. The third reason was in relation to Wilson's "Fourteen Points", more specifically, the point of ?self-determination.? Close examination of these three points shows why Wilson is partly responsible for WWII.
From the Paper
"The Great War was a war of attrition. Many brave men on all both sides of the conflict, Axis and Allied Powers, met their fate fighting for their homelands during the years of 1914-1918. Never before had the world seen such a horrid war fought in the grand scope and magnitude of nations versus nations. Great sacrifices were made in part to the loss of human life through mechanization of artillery to the inception of chemical warfare. (Would such a tragic lesson be reason enough for peace among sovereigns?) Unfortunately, the peace was not afforded to the constituents of the Paris conference, nor those that threw away their lives in the second war that shortly followed in 1939. While there were many causes for the Second World War, it would be a herculean effort to name and attribute them all. A few of the major causes included the onset of war reparations since repayment would be next to impossible for the Germans to meet in the allotted time. Secondly were the sanctions imposed upon the size of the German military which was considered a measure of further alienation, and thirdly were territorial settlement disputes. All three factors were great causes that angered the Nazis to disregard the Peace Accords in the early 1930?s with Hitler?s rise to power."
