Did Wilson send troops to the western front before the election of 1916?

Answer 1

Woodrow Wilson ran for reelection in 1916 under the slogan, "He kept us out of war." The United States did not officially enter World War I until 1917, after Germany declared unrestricted submarine warfare, so no troops were sent over prior to that date. However, some Americans decided to join the militaries of other countries; for instance, some Americans joined the French army. America was also involved in other ways, including commerce, providing supplies for the countries that were actually fighting the war.

So, no, Wilson did not send troops to the western front before the election of 1916. He wanted to keep our country out of war if at all possible, but after he was reelected, he felt compelled to ask Congress to declare war on Germany, in 1917.
