The aim of this thesis is to present how much influence President Woodrow Wilson had on Hungary before and after World War I and how the image about him was represented in the pamphlet literature, in the popular culture, including the cartoons, and at the level of the press before 1920 and after the Trianon Treaty. In the first chapter, I study the American foreign policy in order to get more insight into President’s Wilson work and attitude towards Hungary. In chapter two, I represent the irrelevant and exaggerated desires towards Wilson that originated from the belief that Wilson wanted to avoid Hungary’s dismemberment. His image appeared at all levels of the Hungarian life. In chapter three the focus is on the disappointment caused by Wilson in the Paris Peace Conference and how this event influenced the Hungarian life and the press since there were people who started to blame Wilson because he did not insist on his principles and he did not help Hungary. The press labelled Wilson as “the fake prophet” or Wilson “the sanctified prophet”. However, some people still thought that Wilson would not accept Hungary’s fate and he would try to do anything to change the peace terms relating to Hungary and these people started to provide the positive image about him again.
