As a quintessential example of peace settlement, Treaty of Versailles has been widely regarded as the last page of World War One, following the armistice, formally marking the conclusion of war status between Germany and the Allied and Associated Powers (Brezina, 2006). However, the Treaty has only enjoyed limited success and was, paradoxically, accused of laying the cornerstone for its predecessor, the following World War Two (Keynes, 1920; Schuker, 1992; Taylor, 1991). The cardinal objective…

The Industrial Revolution had greatly changed the dynamic of American lives, creating the rise of big business and masses of new workers and people. From this, emerged new issues that sought resolution in the coming age. During the Progressive Era from 1900-1920, Progressive reformers and the federal government fostered moderate reforms in corporate regulation, labor reform, and extending suffrage. However, the persisting continuity of limited legislation and hands-off government did not…

President Woodrow Wilson called on all people to “be neutral in fact and name” (“World War I: Origins of American Intervention”), but the United States unofficially favored England and her allies. In fact, “the majority of Americans, including president Wilson, sympathized with the Allied cause” (Bosco 20). For example, America reacts differently to the blockades. As neutrals, they could…

This investigation aims to analyze the question: to what extent did American Neutrality and Trade in World War I (WWI) serve as a cause for eventual involvement in the conflict? This investigation will focus on goals outline by President Woodrow Wilson in his address to Congress in 1914 declaring neutrality, the effect of the British Blockade of German Ports in respect to US trade, the consequent German U-boat attacks on American trading vessels, and the Zimmerman telegram. The investigation…

Many of the propaganda posters of World War One have symbolism to persuade the viewers to be a participant in the war. One of the propaganda posters made in Germany has a snake with eight arrows and the number eight, entangling the snake. We can presume that the snake is the Alliances and the eight symbolizes the war bond that the Germans were merchandising at that time. You can see that the arrows are piercing the serpent, which symbolizes that the money that is put in the war bond will support…

By definition, a passion is a strong and barely controllable emotion. We live every day following a passion on guiding us to the necessary tools of daily motivation. Beginning off, I am passionate about learning and getting the proper education I need to further myself in life. Reason being, my mom, and dad had never been a “helicopter parent” when it came to grades; they would just look over my work, check in with me now and then to make sure I was doing what I am supposed to be doing.…

complete good intentions as Wilson did. As a part of the First World War, Woodrow Wilson created a 14 point plan to spread democracy and he genuinely believed in this plain to be successful. However, when he presented this plan to others, they did not agree and they did not want to back up this plan fully. I believe if they had supported Woodrow’s plan more, than democracy could have been spread much more efficiently under these circumstances. After World War I Wilson was all for promoting…

living the past? Students at the Princeton University challenged to change the name of the building called “Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs” on their campus. The students believe that Woodrow Wilson 's past should be seen as a lack of leadership, poor attempt in uniting the nations, and harmed the United States as president instead of helping. Woodrow Wilson was known for one of the worst and most destructive president ever and I agree that he is. I believed that he…

President Woodrow Wilson once said, “It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war… but the right is more precious than peace and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried on our hearts” (Jackson). Germany 's lack of respect for Americas right of neutrality, the evidence for the Zimmermann telegraph, and Americas connection with the Allies led the U.S. to join the war the American people tried so hard to avoid (Sloan 2). Americas goal was to save the world…

ranking the “progressiveness” of these men, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson, it is necessary to look at their accomplishments in two fields. These fields of domestic factors pertaining to social, political, and economic reforms; as well as foreign affairs made up of military and diplomatic factors. Before exploring the progressive merits of the Presidents of the years 1901-1921,…
