Woodrow Wilson’s greatest achievement as president was the creation of which international organization, in which, ironically, his own country refused to participate?
  1. The League of Nations
  2. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization
  3. The World Bank
  4. The International Monetary Fund
  5. The United Nations
Explanation
Answer: A - Following World War I, Woodrow Wilson created the League of Nations to promote international peace and cooperation, but the U.S. Congress refused to participate in the organization, keeping Wilson’s own country out of the landmark organization he created. For his efforts, Wilson won the Nobel Peace Prize. The League of Nations was later disbanded after the onset of World War II, and it was later replaced by the United Nations, a similar organization. The United States is a charter member of the U.N.
