Wilson
During the post WWI era, President Wilson had several obstacles toovercome. Facing Congress, and pressure to resume American society to thestatus quo, he knew he had to act quickly and strongly to support whateverdecisions he made. Unfortunately, they were all executed poorly. Wilsonfailed as a diplomat and as a domestic politician in the post World War I eradue to his failure to compromise, his opposition with Henry Cabot Lodge andthe House of Representatives, and his idealistic views. Wilson is perhaps best known for his 14 point system, which consistedof his goals for the future, after the war. Though they were mostly valid,
He failed as a diplomat and as adomestic politician by not letting down his pride, and getting to the "nittygritty" on his strongest viewpoints. He involvedhimself in foreign affairs that would have been best handled by othercountries. The 14 points included territorial settlements, colonial disputes,and postwar vision; unrestricted navigation, freer trade and reducedarmaments. Wilson's baby, The League of Nations, was rejected by hist ownsenate, chiefly by the workings of Henry Cabot Lodge. Wilson was unsuccessful in fulfilling his goals of the war. Wilson also accomplished little during the The Treaty of Versaille. The League is now a success, but his brilliant ideas were unable to be carriedout because of his failures as a domestic politician. The Louistana notes that little impact and resulted in the sinkingof the Luistana, causing more Americans to be dangerously closer to the war. By alienating Congress, and aggrivating otherdiplomats with his fourteen points, Wilson was unable to effectively conveyhis plans, and enact them accordingly. From anAmerican standpoint, "the treaty is anything but the prelude to quarrels indeeply divided and hideously embittered Europe. Its intention was tohelp America and all other countries in the war, except Germany, to preventa war like this from happening again, but it backfired and they did notbecome a part of it due to his inability to effectively compromise. Wilson had many good ideas that helped to shape the future of thisnation. Perhapsbecause he was ill, he had a harder time digesting it all, but his irrascibleattitude would not allow him to let Congress amend and put the bill through. The people elect thepresident, and a major priority should always be to keep his constituantscontent and satisfied.
