I preferred the essay "Wilson as a Peace Advocate Out of Touch with Reality" by Jan Wilhelm Schulte-Nordholt. In this essay, the author was conveying her opinion that Woodrow Wilson failed to win his peace movement in his time. She explained his presidency and political position of the president on the neutrality positions during the war. She provided the realism and idealism sides of the United States political parties. She supported her facts by direct quotes from the originator.
The thesis of the essay is Woodrow Wilson is the first world peace advocator.
