Woodrow Wilson
The 28th United States president, Woodrow Wilson was in office during World War I and his term ran from 1913 to 1921. He assisted in the creation of the Treaty of Versailles, one of the things that helped in ending the war. One of the iconic quotes he said was, “At last the world knows America as the savior of the world!” In addition, Wilson was remembered for urging the U.S. to be a member of the League of Nations, which is now called the United Nations, but Congress didn’t support the move at the time.
Wilson’s Golf Obsession
Other than being completely passionate about world peace and democracy, there was something else that got President Wilson’s juices flowing – golf. In fact, he was so obsessed with the sport that he didn’t even let snowy winters stop him from playing. He painted his golf balls black so that he would be able to retrieve them even when the course was blanketed white.
