Woodrow Wilson
The Peace Palace
Woodrow Wilson did visit Buckingham Palace in 1918. However, under his presidency (1913-1921) in the year 1913 was the start of the International Law Congress of the Peace Palace Library. Just another Palace, perhaps. However, this collection of international law at the Peace Palace does effect the whole world, which is the main point of room 45. Therefore, it does tie in. (Even as Homer and Virgil mentioned Pallas in their respective works.)
While the Peace Palace Library exists and started in Wilson's time, he also had a secret plan for peace. It was written with a series of 23 maps. This peace plan outlined new maps of the entire world. The secret peace plan was rather brief (for international documents of this sort) and fit neatly in a black binder; thus, the Black Book. [More info in "The Black Book: Woodrow Wilson's Secret Plan for Peace" by Wesley Reisser] This was the centerpiece of the Paris Peace Conference and Treaty. Another secret within a book of secrets. I wonder of they have a secret handshake, like Animal House.
