Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States

The photograph shows Thomas Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States. According to the source, Wilson’s arbitral award defined the Armenian-Turkish border, which still has legal force to this day (Kars, Van, Mush, Ardahan and Trebizond are part of Armenia).

After the genocide, American missionaries used American money to buy Armenian orphans back from the Kurds and sent them to orphanages. In all, more than 130,000 Armenian orphans were saved and cared for in Wilson’s orphanages in the Middle East.

In the portrait Wilson wears a dark suit and glasses.
