President Wilson wanted to weaken the countries of Europe.

Explanation:

President Wilson, based on the political traditions of his country, was able to actually justify a new global model for building a democratic community of nations. The concept of national self-determination occupies an important place in his political heritage. In the conditions of the First World War and post-war settlement, namely he became one of the main initiators of bringing this concept into the program of reorganizing the world order.

Wilson did advocate for self-determination, believing that the old colonial empires would collapse if their colonies had the right to independently govern, but his vision was limited, mainly covering the states of Europe, which were integral parts of the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburgs. Moreover, Wilson’s anti-imperialism was a means of promoting an “open door” policy: by destroying existing colonial empires, the United States can use its economic power to gain a foothold in new markets.

originally he was supposed to be dead but they wanted to continue the series so they brought him back to life.
