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,…

Germany also led to World War Two. The League of Nations was created by Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States, following the end of World War One in 1920 during the Paris Peace Conference. The League was created from Woodrow Wilson 's Fourteen Points, which were designed to maintain world peace and avoidance of all future wars. The United States, however, did not join the League of Nations, despite Woodrow Wilson 's wishes to do so. The League also made many poor decisions and did…

Starving refugees, tourists caught in the beginning of a war, and a badly timed depression gave Herbert Hoover the best and worst face in the eyes on the world. A small town boy made it on his own fortune, but what is the good in being rich while others are in need? Hoover realized all of the help he could give and decided to take action. With his courageous acts of good to the people in need, Herbert Hoover was and will forever be a well known humanitarian. Herbert Clark Hoover was born on…

During World War I (July 28, 1914- November 11, 1918) the United States made it its mission to not get involved. They were going to abide by a neutrality acts. These acts were used so that the United States and other countries would not overstep boundaries causing the two to feud with each other. Sadly, things did not go according to plan when Germany decided to take matters into their own hands. Many of these acts were broken and as a result the United States entered the war. While the breaking…
