Political Cartoon
This political cartoon represents how the US created the League of Nations and had many ideas in mind. However, they didn't join as they were in a state of isolationism. This created conflict as the League didn't obtain the Us's strong military force. Some say that this is the biggest reason for the fail of the League of Nations.
Interesting FactWilson's dream job was a professorship at Princeton, which he achieved in 1890, becoming the university's 13th president in 1902.

He also wanted European nations to use self determination. In essence, this means that he wanted them to create there own political status and independence.
