Summary/Abstract: The author shows the main direction of the US foreign policy and explains the role and activities of US president, Woodrow Wilson is reshaping a better world after World War I. He considers Wilson as being as pragmatic as he was idealist and explains his main ideas concerning the international peace, the self-determination of the oppressed people and the democratization of states. In the end, he think that pure realism is not a good option because it favors a fixed, non-progressive world, but, on the other side, exacerbated idealism is also useless and tiring. The best solution is a mixture of both, and this is the intellectual inheritance of the Wilsonism.
