Exactly. The college professor excluded his folksy Vice President, Thomas Marshall, and worked closely with Col. Edward House. After Wilson’s stroke, his second wife -Edith Bolling Galt- continued the process. Vice President Marshall had been treated with cold contempt. He never tried to exercise any powers or come to the President’s quarters.
Lusitania was a major reason for the war. And in subsequent historical diving attempts it has been proven that the Lusitania was carrying allied materiel and artillery. Which made the German sinking of it acceptable under wartime Maritime law. The sinking was also mentioned by House in his intimate papers. Discussions with Edward Grey(Roundtable member) and King George himself. Page 432. Any comment on these significant events that were, I would say, deliberately avoided in your presentation? And more information on Houses father please.babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.32106019736484&view=1up&seq=1
I hate to pop your bubble...EVERY PERSON ON EARTH IS AT LEAST PARTIALLY RACIST AND IT MATTERS NOT WHAT COLOR OR CULTURE YOU ARE, THE ONES WHO RAIL THE HARDEST ESPECIALLY IN THE OPEN AGAINST IT, ARE THE BIGGEST RACISTS OF ALL!🤗
I listened to the last thirty minutes as I was more interested in the formation of the league and effect on wilsonianism in future american presidents and society which is not really discussed. Having studied the creation of the league of nations myself I have to say this is a misreprentation of its formation and purposes. I think the professor failed to underline the great influences which british internationalists had on the structure and details of the league as well as the hypocrisies of that political world. Wilson's first approach to the war can be seen in the discourse 'peace without victory' in january of 1917 where he invites the belligerent governments to stop the war and restore pre war borders. In that speech he calls for the taking up of the monroe doctrine in europe. A year later he would preach for self government based of nationalistic identities, while occupying militarily haiti, dominican republic, nicaragua and cuba (during the banana wars) and fighting a war for mexican borders. Before the bolshevik revolution he had been secretive on the war aims of the US. After lenin's decree on peace and the release of the secret treaties(hence the first point of the fourteenth), US and UK saw themselves competing for european public opinion with the 'communists'. The fourteen points were drafted by the inquiry, a group of scholars investigating the wants of public opinion in european countries, matching the wants with the secrete treaties, to which lippman, the head of the inquiry, had full access to. His ideas on the League were highly influenced by the writings of Smuts, a south African white supremacist politician, and the under secretery of british foreign minister Cecil (also by the writings of a friend of his called Woolf), both part of the british delegation at the paris peace conference where they discussed with the american delegation the formation of the league of which the structure adopted was the one described by smuts in his pamphlet. The League did not cause problems on sovereignty which the british would have never accepted. The League was founded on racist hypocritical morals and values, highly ineffective in keeping democracies alive during the interwar period, with no military power and no way of enforcing its decrees. The long lasting effect which can be attributed to it is the humanitarian work which came out of it, which is obviously a great accomplishment that can be attributed to wilson in part. Wilson was an elitist, like much of the global governance, believed public opinion needed to be guided rather than listened to, and this is what he was trying to do with the fourteen points, through propaganda he wanted to gain support of euopeans at the expenses of the bolsheviks. It was clearly a new and influencial way of looking at international organization but very much diminished effectiveness due to the political entanglements and power politics. The republican and former presidents('successful' lawyers) envisioned an international organization not based on political and diplomatic relations with Old Europe, which could only threaten US isolationism, by joining their alliances and wars, but on International Court of Justice or other type of organization which would have enforced existing treaties and guaranteed peace. Also, due to the exclusion the losing countries, the League was simply an instrument for french and british powers which didn't even have any real trust in it and did not exploit it.
Hey buddy, I'm an Indian fellow, pursuing my bachelor's in history. America's history is a part of our syllabus but unfortunately I'm not aware about some Indian fellow taking lectures on the topic, neither I've any textbook. Well, I am lacking time so won't be able to read book i guess but please suggest me some UA-cam channel that can teach me American history as a part of academics.
"Storm of love making...". In that time, love making meant wooing, not sex.
Thanks for the info. A+ speaker.
A little more focus on House please. Wilson implemented many of Houses ideas written in Philip Dru. A story of a dictator.
Exactly. The college professor excluded his folksy Vice President, Thomas Marshall, and worked closely with Col. Edward House.
After Wilson’s stroke, his second wife -Edith Bolling Galt-
continued the process.
Vice President Marshall had been treated with cold contempt. He never tried to exercise any powers or come to the President’s quarters.
Woodrow 28th prez, born 28th, so was his dad

I would have guessed whole turkey for Taft.

Woodrow Wilson was one of the worst US presidents.
