A North Carolina native, William E. Dodd went on to become chair of the Department of History at the University of Chicago and Ambassador to Germany in 1930s -- just as Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party rose to power.

It was an ironic twist for Dodd who died in 1938. A staunch Wilsonian, Dodd had predicted that a harsh peace with Germany following World War I would lead to a more militant Germany. He did not expect, however, to witness personally the failure of the peace Woodrow Wilson tried to make.
