Wilson's idealism, particularly his belief in spreading democracy and promoting self-determination, played a significant role in bringing the U.S. into World War I. He framed the conflict as a struggle between autocracy and democracy, arguing that the U.S. had a moral obligation to support the Allies against the Central Powers. This idealistic vision, combined with factors like unrestricted submarine warfare by Germany and the Zimmerman Telegram, shifted public opinion and ultimately led to Congress declaring war in April 1917. Wilson's desire to shape a post-war order based on his principles further solidified the U.S. involvement in the conflict.

Does idealism have any place in American government?

Without idealism, governments (worldwide) would become rote and legalistic. Through idealism, democracies can sponsor and craft new bills and laws designed to better the lives of the citizens. Without idealism and reaching beyond the confines of today, governments could keep the same laws and policies and never seek to change anything. John F. Kennedy, with idealism and passion, sought to bring further changes to US government and society. Some people believe he was killed because the changes he proposed scared some within the government.
