Who was President during World War I? (65/20 version)

Correct answer

Woodrow Wilson

  1. A Franklin Roosevelt
  2. B Woodrow Wilson
  3. C Theodore Roosevelt
  4. D Harry Truman

Why this is the answer

Woodrow Wilson was President during World War I. This is a 65/20 civics question. Wilson served as president from 1913 to 1921 and led the nation when it entered World War I in 1917. He is also known for proposing the Fourteen Points and the League of Nations after the war. Franklin Roosevelt was president during most of World War II, Theodore Roosevelt served earlier (1901–1909), and Harry Truman became president near the end of World War II. Matching presidents to the major wars of their era is common American-history content.
