Answer 1

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Woodrow Wilson was the President of the United States throughout World War I and in the years immediately after. Wilson was a major proponent of world peace, and perhaps one of the most defining historical pieces of his Presidency was his Fourteen Points.

In Wilson's Fourteen Points, Wilson argued in favor of world peace and aimed for World War I to be the war to end all wars.

Woodrow Wilson also founded the League of Nations, whose mission statement included the settling of disputes between nations via diplomacy rather than war and the disarmament of global militias. The United States, however, never joined the League of Nations.
