America’s first effort at establishing a new world order on behalf of a
troubled world was the vision President Woodrow Wilson put forth at the
Versailles Peace Conference in the spring of 1919. Historians view this
as a failed effort because the U.S. did not join the League of Nations
after World War I. This presentation will contend that Wilson did
succeed in fostering a new world in Europe that despite World War II and
the Cold War is in place today. A Europe at peace with itself is the
result.
