During the 1900s, the United States government tried to maintain the foreign policy of neutrality in World War I and World War II, but different events and incidents forced President Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt, respectively, to enter the international conflict in order to defend America from the threat of Germany.
The only questions left unanswered are regarding domestic politics such as racism, inequity, civil rights for minorities.
