Wilson also gave us the Federal Reserve, Income Tax, and a whole host of other disgusting things. Wilson was a plague to this nation.
But to try and blame him and him alone for the Russian revolution, the rise of Nazism in Germany, the outbreak of ww2 etc is nothing but pure rubbish. He may have had a hand in policies that led to those, but so did many other leaders and people not mentioned. Just a dumb statement and looks like a rubbish book to me.
His influence and impact is often underrated.
Treaty of V is often credited with putting into motion all the forces that caused WW1.
Absolutely, the extreme punitive measures (coming mostly from France based on feelings of vengeance) paved the way for hyperinflation and as a consequence fascism as recessions and depressions are the best atmosphere for demagogues to take over.
WWII Saved the US Economy
Lets not forget centuries of german Antisemitism helped as Hitler could not only blame Allied Europe for the crushing economically circumstances germany face, but also the Jews from within. Lets also not forget germany didn't stage a revolution to get rid of Hitler and many many millions supported him and his policies. For that they got destroyed. I think the biggest regret of WW2 was that germany surrendered before the atom bomb could have been dropped on Berlin. Oh how much i wish that would have happened.
