Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt
Woodrow Wilson was the 28th president of the United States, serving from 1913 to 1921. He’s perhaps best known for leading the United States during World War I and for his input in founding the League of Nations. Carnegie is critical of Wilson’s decision not to include Republican input when forming the League of Nations. Republicans were humiliated as a result, and they refused to show their support for joining the League, which likely altered the course of history. This emphasizes Carnegie’s point that it is important to make others happy about doing the things that one wants them to do—otherwise, people may become resentful.
