Question

Woodrow Wilson lost his Presidential reelection because he authorized U.S. entry into World War I.

Answer 1

Answer:

False, Wilson was first elected in 1913., and was reelected in 1916, a year before the United States entered WWI.

Explanation:

Before 1917., Wilson promised the U.S. public he would keep the United States out of World War I.

The circumstances changed in 1917, after Germany employed the submarine warfare, attacking also American civil ships.

Woodrow Wilson then asked the U.S. Congress to enter the War, to defend the U.S. and to preserve liberal values in the world.

His foreign policy, an ideology, liberal internationalism, also called Wilsonianism or Wilsonian, supported interventionism anywhere in the world, as an obligation of strong, liberal states, such as the United States of America.
