Wilson's War Speech Analysis

Wilson’s war message to Congress argued that non-democratic governments like those of Germany, endanger democracy. Wilson believed that warfare is likely to be produced by non-democratic countries where democratic governments never would produce it.

Wilson believes that peace between autocratic nations is very unlikely due to this dictatorial leader who is absorbed within their own rules. Overall, Germany poses a threat for world peace and democracy because they are willing to declare war against any country, even when unnecessary.

If war was not to have been declared, sooner or later Germany would’ve invaded the Americas and ruled the land just as they did with Europe.

Since entering the war, addition of new warfare weapons were gained, along with respect towards women and respect towards the US from
