Wilson was one of the people who early on, pushed the idea of a league of nations as a way at settling conflicts and ending the threat of war. Such an organization was set up after World War I. Wilson traveled the country speaking in favor of the league and the importance of the US joining and supporting it. However, the Republicans campaigned against it as part of the presidential election and the people elected the Republican, Harding, thereby showing the national consensus and crippling the league of nations.

President Wilson asked for a declaration of war against Germany primarily due to the resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare by the German Navy, which posed a direct threat to American ships and lives. Additionally, the interception of the Zimmerman Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the United States, further inflamed public opinion and solidified the call for action. These events collectively pushed Wilson to abandon his earlier stance of neutrality and seek congressional approval for war.
