Eugene V. Debs' speech in 1918 violated the Espionage Act by promoting anti-war sentiment and encouraging resistance to military enlistment during World War I. His remarks were deemed to undermine the war effort and could incite insubordination among troops. The government interpreted his speech as a direct challenge to the nation's wartime policies, leading to his conviction for violating the Act. Debs argued for free speech, but the court prioritized national security over his right to express dissent.
