World War I Essays (175 words) - Presidency Of Woodrow Wilson

Most thought that the war was not their problem it was a foreign problem, and they had no reason to enter it. People were fine living their lives and wanted to keep the peace they had. And President Woodrow wanted to maintain an isolationist/neutral policy. That would not last long soon they would enter the war. The war came about when countries wanted to conquer land for themselves. So they used aggressive action on other countries. The United States wanted to stay neutral but the Germans built U-boats and a one had sunk the Lusitania ship that had Americans aboard, also a telegram that came through that read ?That Kaiser was offering military aid to Mexico to help reclaim Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico?. The President needed to help Great British and to try and find a way to still make peace in the world. The problems that started the Great War had to be solved and President Woodrow Wilson wanted the United States to show other nations the errors of their ways.
