# Woodrow Wilson Chooses War

This webinar is third in a series of five on World War I. Like many individuals around the globe, Woodrow Wilson was shocked by the outbreak of a devastating world war among European empires in 1914. As president of the United States, however, he had a unique opportunity to shape the outcome of this catastrophic conflict. Sahr Conway-Lanz of the Library's Manuscripts Division will discuss the Woodrow Wilson papers available at the Library of Congress. They are the most extensive and significant collection of Wilson documentation found anywhere and include his White House files as well as personal and professional materials from the rest of his life.
