President Wilson's failure with the League of Nations.

Failures:

1. Failed to convince the United States to join the League of Nations, which he helped established.
2. He tried to manipulate the Mexican Revolution, which made the Mexicans distrust America.
3. Wilson pushed through the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918 to suppress anti-war opinions, which resulted in the arrest of socialist Eugene V. Debs.
4. The Keating-Owen Act of 1916 would have stopped the sale of items produced by child labor, but the U.S. Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional two years later.
5. Wilson was a strong supporter of segregation in the federal government, so as president of Princeton, he refused to admit African American students.
6. Woodrow Wilson did not secure the "peace with honor" that he promised to Germany, which helped lay the foundation of WW2.
7. Wilson promised to ask Britain to give Ireland its independence. He did not full-fill this promise, which angered Irish-Americans.
