The 1912 Presidential Election was a pivotal moment in American history, marked by the split within the Republican Party and the emergence of Woodrow Wilson as President. This election highlighted shifts in political ideologies and the rise of progressive reforms, setting the stage for major policy changes in the early 20th century. Understanding this election illuminates the broader struggles between conservatism and progressivism, shaping the nation’s response to social and economic challenges.

W.E.B. Du Bois was a prominent African American intellectual and civil rights activist during the early 20th century. He co-founded the NAACP and advocated for immediate racial equality through higher education and political activism. His work related to the period’s racial tensions and Jim Crow laws, emphasizing the importance of identity and education in achieving racial uplift. Du Bois’s efforts are significant in understanding the ongoing fight against racial discrimination and the roots of the Civil Rights Movement in American history.

Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States, served from 1913 to 1921. His presidency is closely associated with progressive reforms, including antitrust regulations, the Federal Reserve Act, and his leadership during World War I. Wilson’s policies reflected a shift toward federal intervention in the economy and international engagement. His tenure is significant for shaping U.S. domestic policy and its foreign relations in the early 20th century, especially the push for the League of Nations.

World War I, spanning from 1914 to 1918, was a transformative conflict that involved many major world powers. For America, the war marked its emergence as a global military power after initially maintaining neutrality. WWI introduced new warfare technologies and resulted in significant social shifts, including changes in gender roles and workforce participation. The war’s conclusion and the Treaty of Versailles had profound impacts on global politics, leading directly to the interwar period and influencing U.S. foreign policy, making the war a pivotal moment in shaping modern international relations.
