Essay question

Respuesta :

This exercise is about President Woodrow Wilson's WWI methodologies. He is said to have combined Legalism, Moralism, and Idealism in the bid to justify America's involvement in the First World War.

What were President Woodrow Wilson's Legalism Ideologies?

History records that President Wilson in his first tenure was averse to the idea of entering into the war. Although 128 Americans had been killed in an indirect attack.

In his second tenure, however, he asked Congress to declare war on Germany when the latter launched recurrent attacks against U.S. merchant ships.

He also persuaded the enactment of a law that made it possible to increase the number of soldiers that were sent into battle in WW1.

What were President Woodrow Wilson's Idealistic and Moralistic Ideologies?

Most of President Woodrow's proposals were idealistic and moralistic in that they lacked specific action points on how they would be attained. Most of these are found in the 14 Points Speech which he delivered in a bid to establish a post-war peace settlement.

What were the consequences of President Woodrow's Idealistic proposals in the post-war period?

There was some progress. Wilson's 14 Point speech led to the creation of the League of Nations. Unfortunately, this was short-lived but a better form emanated into what is now the United Nations, albeit after another World War.
