About Woodrow Wilson

Wilson and the Nobel Peace Prize

After a hiatus during the First World War Nobel Peace Prize nominations were again called for in 1920. Letters of support for Woodrow Wilson poured in from nominating committees all over the world for the founder of the League of Nations. In December 1920, Woodrow Wilson was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for the year 1919. Unable to travel to Christiania, Norway to receive the prize, Wilson cabled his remarks to the American Minister to Norway.  He was the second of four American Presidents to win the award.
