Thomas Woodrow Wilson was the 28th President of the United States from 1913 to 1921. He was a member of the democratic party, served as the President of Princeton University and was also elected as the Governor of New Jersey. He was the President during World War I and was a major leader in the Paris Peace Conference where he proposed the idea for the League of Nations. In his later years, Wilson still made public appearances and focused on his writing up until his death in 1924 when he died for a stroke and other heart-related problems at the age of 67.
