The first world war painting a grim and somber picture showing Wilson the unavoidable international instability. Wilson itemized 14 strategies to ensure national security and world peace. Several points addressed several territorial issues.
Wilson used an appeasing tone while addressing this. This appeasing tone is basically just adding to the fact to just leave Germany alone along with the other countries/nations. Using anaphora adds to the effectiveness of this speech because as said before it reinforces the idea of all the nations being unified which also ties in with the ethical reasoning used by Wilson. Parallelism is also used widely in this speech as Wilson talks about many of the same things to reinforce this idea of unifying the countries. This is shown when he uses anaphora and he says the word “we” in the last paragraph to emphasize this idea.

Woodrow Wilsons’ main objective was for World War 1 to be the “war to end all wars”, promoting peace, security, and unity throughout the international system, and overall creating a League of Nations. The fact that there was a WWII shows that Wilson’s ideas were somewhat ineffective; however, some of Wilsons points were successful and implemented after WWI. The first four points were ineffective because countries still make secret agreements amongst themselves and the European colonies were not allowed self-determination. Points 5-13 were actually successful because they restored national sovereignty to various places in Europe. The League of Nations was never strong and failed to prevent future wars (Italian invasion of Ethiopia or the Japanese

Jae’La Rivera Argumentative Essay Title Woodrow Wilson was the 28th president of the United States.

The twentieth century was a major turning point for the United States of America. Americans realized that they needed to play an important role in the world, yet they did not know what kind of role. “Whether to be an example worthy of emulation or an activist shaping the world; whether or not to be imperialist; whether to define U.S. interests in a far-sighted or narrow way and whether to act alone or with others,” (192). There has not been a clear, concise answer to all those questions. However, it is seen that the U.S. policy was not only focused on advancing its own interest but to transform the world.

Both of these agenda had their flaws but, I would much rather lean toward Woodrow theory, than be considered as the asshole country in the whole world. Woodrow wanted to spread democracy throughout the world which I would also agree to try to create world peace and would benefit the people and give American powers
Theodore Roosevelt’s speech, Strength and Decency, included a variety of rhetorical strategies that allowed him to persuade educated, mature, and, strong men to become powerful and decent human beings. Roosevelt’s purpose of presenting this speech was to persuade the audience to behave like the strong men they are but with decency and manners because, in the 1900s, men behaved in a very manly fashion. However, men lacked manners and morality. Due to the very questionable propriety of men, Roosevelt was driven to address how men should act the way a real mature man would in order to further improve society. By using rhetorical strategies such as repetition, Christian appeal, and a serious tone, Roosevelt is able to show his audience how strength and decency go hand in hand.
No other president before Wilson made this a huge pitch to congress as President Wilson did. Many Americans, at the time, shared these same views because our independence was fairly new as a nation. Wilson uses the line, “for a universal dominion of right by such a concert of free peoples as shall bring peace and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free.” to congress, in his speech to justify his want and need for war. He states to congress that it is needed so that all like-minded nations dedicated to peace, safety and justice can come together for the world’s
During 1917 of May, Woodrow Wilson mentions the war that has been on going is for the liberty of people and due to the war there has been many lives lost and destructions caused by it.

All decisions made in the future will be to attain peace and without war.
