I'm guessing "overcoming difficult barriers"

Please correct me if I’m wrong. Hope this helps! :)
Numerous American citizens died in the war and this resonated with the people very poorly. They disliked the fact that they participated in a war in Europe that had almost nothing to do with them and that people died for something that was not connected to the United States. Although Wilson wanted to stay close to Europeans, his opposition got more support due to their isolationist policies which is why he lost.
