A few good governments too. Wilson, usually rated in the top 10 presidents, ran with "America First" and "He Kept Us Out" for his re-election. We joined the war only a month after his re-inauguration. In hindsight, that was likely for the best but it seems a misrepresentation.
- flukus 10y ago> In hindsight, that was likely for the best but it seems a misrepresentation. Was it? American involvement created a decisive winner in what would have been a stalemate. Imagine if Versailles hadn't been so one sided?
- pjc50 10y agoWW1 was a stalemate, it was only really ended by strike action and mutiny within Germany. Hence dolchstosslegende.
- Arizhel 10y agoHow was that for the best? American involvement in WWI led to the Treaty of Versailles which was the direct cause of Hitler and WWII. All of that could have been avoided if America had just stayed uninvolved.
