| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The ideological clash between US President Woodrow Wilson and the Russian Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin, which began when the Bolsheviks took power in Russia in late 1917, was a defining moment in the international history of the twentieth century. Throughout his time in power, how-ever, Wilson viewed the Bolshevik threat as merely one part of the global crisis of his era, a crisis that encompassed not only the ongoing world war but also a set of longer term historical forces shaping developments both at home and abroad. So in order to understand Wilson's response to Lenin and the lessons it has for our time, we must first consider the historical context of that relationship. |
