Explanation:
  When Woodrow Wilson became the 28th president of the United States in 1912, he had no idea (or absolutely did not know) that he would have to lead the country through the first global war, or a war that affected 1 (or changed or influenced) the whole world. World War I began in 1914 and it affected the rest of his presidency 2 (or the time when he was president).
  At first, President Wilson wanted the United States to be as neutral as possible, not fighting on either side of the war. However, the Germans kept attacking (or fighting) with submarines, which are large boats that travel under the water, where they can’t be seen. This made President Wilson decide to enter the war.
  He started the United States’ first real draft in 1917. The draft made young American men fight in the army whether they wanted to or not. To get money for the war, President Wilson helped the United States make billions of dollars by selling Liberty Bonds, which were pieces of paper that people bought from the government with the promise that the government would give them even more money on a certain day in the future. President Wilson also started the income tax, which makes Americans pay a percentage of all the money they receive for working to the U.S. government.
  As World War I ended, President Wilson became heavily (or very much) involved in the peace talks, which are discussions that should lead to the end of a war so that all countries are satisfied. He led the negotiations 3 (or discussions where people or countries agree on what they want) with Germany and helped to create the peace treaties (or agreements between countries).
  In 1919, President Wilson received the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in trying to start the League of Nations. The League of Nations was an international organization that was supposed to bring peace to the world and prevent other wars from being fought in the future.
