Yes, I know it's written by a foreigner. But that article is such an exercise in detached nationalist masturbation that it's disturbing. I'm not sure if he believes what he wrote, or simply wrote it because he knew that type of angle would give him a shot at winning, but in either case that's some pretty stinky nationalist tripe.

Woodrow Wilson was instrumental in bringing the US into WWI, in formulating the Treaty of Versailles and in helping form the League of Nations.
I guess one thing that pissed off alot of Koreans is the fact that President Wilson rewarded Japan for its help in the war (by taking out several German colonies in China) with recognizing its claim over Korea.
The problem was that Korea was not the only nation to get slighted. Many colonial possessions sent representation to the signing of the Versailles treaty, hoping the west would live up to its promise of democracy. But most European powers, reeling from the effects of the war, were in fact bent on keeping them so they could use their raw materials for their own reconstruction.
