Woodrow Wilson's most lasting political philosophy was his view that [[democracy]] should be installed around the world.  He broke up the [[Austria-Hungary|Austrian-Hungarian Empire]] to advance his goal of installing democracy for each ethnic subpopulation.  Similar independence was granted with the breakup of the [[Ottoman Empire]].  Many of these new nations were receiving self determination for the first time in centuries.  Wilson's view of installing democracy worldwide has since been copied by the [[neoconservatives]].  Wilson was awarded the 1919 [[Nobel Peace Prize]] for his efforts to start the [[League of Nations]].
