The dawn of the twentieth century saw the rise of
the United States as a world power along with the
emergence of a highly organized and influential
peace movement, including many leading figures in
business and government. The union of American
commercial and military expansion with the spirit of
Progressive social reform gave birth to the liberal
internationalism of Woodrow Wilson, a new way of
conceiving of the United States' role in the world
and of international relations in general. Born at
the same time as the alternative internationalism of
the Bolshevik Revolution, has the liberal vision of
a "world made safe for democracy" outlived its
socialist rival, or has it died along with the
Progressive tradition from which it arose?
