The United States entered World War I in 1917. When the Germans resumed sinking our ships without warning, the United States declared war on Germany and fought on the side of the Allies.
President Wilson explained what he hoped to accomplish by joining World War I. President Wilson had very idealistic war goals. One goal he had was to make this “a war to end all wars.” In other words, President Wilson was telling the American people that if we were to be victorious in World War I, this would be the last war ever.
Another war goal of the United States was to make the world safer for democratic governments. Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey all had nondemocratic governments. President Wilson believed an Allied victory would make the world a better place and a safer place for those countries that had democratic governments.
Finally, President Wilson said we didn’t want to gain any land if we were to win in World War I.
President Wilson had very idealist war goals.
