Who was the President during World War I?

Woodrow Wilson served as President of the United States during World War I, which lasted from 1914 to 1918. He was in office from 1913 to 1921 and is best known for his role in leading the country into the war in 1917, advocating for a peace plan following the war, and promoting the creation of the League of Nations.

Wilson’s administration was marked by significant events related to the war, including the mobilization of U.S. forces and the development of the Federal Reserve System. His Fourteen Points, proposed in 1918, outlined a vision for a post-war world that emphasized self-determination and open diplomacy, reflecting his belief that these principles would help prevent future conflicts.

The other choices represent presidents who were in office either before or after World War I. Theodore Roosevelt was president from 1901 to 1909, Herbert Hoover from 1929 to 1933, and Harry S. Truman from 1945 to 1953, all of whom played no direct role in the events of World War I.
