Woodrow Wilson
Policy of neutrality/ American neutrality
President Woodrow Wilson initially favored neutrality and staying out of World War I, but shifted his stance when German actions threatened American lives and interests. He advocated for entering the war to make the world "safe for democracy" and promote peace through the creation of the League of Nations. Wilson's principles clashed with isolationist sentiments in the US, leading to debates over America's role in global affairs.
President Wilson insisted on American neutrality during World War I to maintain peace and uphold the nation's longstanding tradition of avoiding entanglement in European conflicts. He believed that staying neutral would allow the U.S. to act as a mediator and promote peace, while also protecting American economic interests and preventing the loss of American lives. Additionally, Wilson recognized the deep divisions in American society regarding the war, which made neutrality a politically prudent choice.
The legacy of America's involvement in World War I would be an increased military and expansion of the Federal government. President Woodrow Wilson will be known for his dramatic shift from neutrality and isolationism to global control and a zeal for war in order to expand his domestic agenda.
