Last week in class you explored notions of Just War as it applied to the Spanish-American and Philippine-American wars. You then looked at the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine and analyzed the shifts that took place in American Foreign Policy as a result. Finally, you began to study the origins of World War One as well as America's road to engaging in that conflict by watching the first 25 minutes of the video below and filling out this study guide.
Today in class, we will be continuing our work by having a brief discussion about when (or if) the United States' should have engaged militarily in the conflict.
Our primary focus today though will be on how Woodrow Wilson's Message to Congress made an argument that the United States should declare war on the Central Powers in World War One.
