Public opinion following news of the Zimmerman telegraph.
It is not the decision of citizens to decide if the US should go to war. Especially foreign nationals. That is the duty of the President and Congress. They may be influenced in their decision by the populace
The event that most influenced President Woodrow Wilson's decision to enter World War I was the resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare by Germany in early 1917. This policy threatened American shipping and lives, particularly with incidents like the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915 still fresh in memory. Additionally, the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany sought to entice Mexico into an alliance against the United States, further galvanized public opinion and pushed Wilson to seek a declaration of war in April 1917.
The US entered WW2 in December 1941, at which time Jimmy Carter was too young to vote, never mind be president. FDR was president at the time, but he didn't really have a decision to make. The treacherous attack on Pearl Harbour by Japan made the decision for him.
The most significant event that influenced President Woodrow Wilson's decision to enter World War I was the resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare by Germany in early 1917. This aggressive tactic led to the sinking of several American merchant ships, notably the Lusitania in 1915, which had already stirred public sentiment against Germany. Additionally, the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the United States, further galvanized support for entering the war. These developments shifted public opinion and convinced Wilson that joining the Allies was necessary to protect American interests and uphold international law.
